Rare Original Dieter Rams RZ 62 Space Age Lounge Chair & Sofa Collection – Vitsœ, 1960s Germany
An exceptional and increasingly rare original mid-century furniture collection designed by the legendary German industrial designer Dieter Rams for Vitsœ (formerly Otto Zapf – Vitsœ + Zapf) in Germany during the 1960s.
A true icon of German modernist and Space Age design, this distinctive seating collection perfectly reflects Rams’ celebrated design philosophy of “Less, but better.”
The collection combines beautifully sculptural molded shells with original rich brown corduroy upholstery. Its distinctive architectural silhouette, clean geometric lines and carefully considered proportions create a striking balance between futuristic aesthetics and functional comfort.
The contrast between the warm brown fabric and the light-colored outer shells gives these pieces a particularly sophisticated appearance, making them equally impressive in contemporary interiors, collectible design collections and authentic mid-century settings.
Dieter Rams’ work for Vitsœ helped establish some of the most influential principles of modern industrial design, inspiring generations of designers and shaping the visual language of contemporary furniture.
An outstanding opportunity to acquire an authentic example of this remarkable period of German design.
