In 1960, two new modular furniture systems by Dieter Rams arrived on the market, which differed significantly from the RZ 57 system he had created in 1957. While previous models were essentially box-shaped, for the RZ 60 program, Rams used freer lines, which added lightness to the form. The designer's use of more organic, curved silhouettes is truly the DNA of this collection.
These chair models are defined by two large cast aluminum glider legs, which provide a high degree of stability, and the essentially rectangular construction of the seat and backrest features a pronounced backward slope. The 601 was originally intended for living rooms or bedrooms, for more relaxed seating. Today, with the evolving concept of living in the workplace, it fits perfectly into a triangulation of comfort, ergonomics, and aesthetics.
Rams' design notes state: "A simple, discreet chair, allowing easy grouping, even in small apartments." All models in Rams' RZ 60 series are characterized by a visual lightness that doesn't obstruct the room but rather enhances perspective and readability, since it doesn't interfere with the visual field.
