richter VR53 lounge chair

The Richter VR53 Lounge Chair with Armrests brings architectural geometry and inviting comfort into perfect balance. Inspired by Vjenceslav Richter’s 1953 modernist vision, its sculptural X-shaped wooden base supports generously upholstered seating with integrated armrests, creating a sophisticated lounge chair that feels both visually light and wonderfully relaxed.

Richter VR53 Lounge Chair

Design Vjenceslav Richter
Manufactured by Prostoria

The Richter VR53 Lounge Chair with Armrests is a striking interpretation of European modernist furniture design, combining sculptural craftsmanship, architectural precision, and exceptional visual simplicity. Developed by Richter+ as a contemporary extension of Vjenceslav Richter’s original 1953 design concept, this upholstered lounge chair brings a remarkable piece of design heritage into modern living and commercial spaces.

At the heart of the VR53 is its distinctive wooden base, where intersecting geometric elements form an elegant X-shaped structure. This architectural foundation creates a sense of stability while giving the chair an unexpectedly light, almost floating appearance. Above, generously cushioned upholstery, a softly contoured backrest, and integrated armrests provide a welcoming contrast to the precision of the wooden framework.

The VR53’s balanced proportions and relaxed seating position make it an excellent choice for contemporary living rooms, boutique hotel lounges, sophisticated reception areas, executive offices, and thoughtfully designed hospitality interiors. Its combination of warm wood, soft upholstery, and refined geometry allows it to complement minimalist, mid-century modern, and contemporary interior design styles.

More than just a comfortable accent chair, the Richter VR53 is a thoughtful dialogue between architecture and furniture—a sculptural modern lounge chair where every element serves both form and function.

SEE IT IN ACTION

Sharp angles. Soft landing. The Richter VR53 knows how to play both sides. Its sculptural wooden base brings the architectural attitude, while plush upholstery and welcoming armrests take care of the comfort. A little geometric drama, a lot of laid-back charm, and just the right amount of mid-century cool. Who says serious design can’t be seriously relaxing?
