VR61 low table

VR61 revisits a vision first conceived by Vjenceslav Richter for Italia '61 in Turin. Defined by mirrored symmetry and a lucid sculptural gesture, its plywood shell rises from a central base, rigorous in geometry yet unexpectedly light in presence.

Prostoria developed two distinct evolutions: one faithful to the dining geometry of the original, the other recalibrated in scale and inclination to meet the comfort of an easy chair. VR61 is not a reproduction, but a continuation: a modernist form resolved for contemporary life.

For the centenary of Italian unification at Italia '61 in Turin, Richter designed an exhibition space introducing bent plywood chairs with a central support — the conceptual origin of the VR61 collection. The chair expressed Richter's pursuit of structural economy and sculptural clarity.
