Rex Dining Chair in Natural Oak, Solid Frame + Plywood, Mid-Century Modern Style

About the Item

The story of the Rex furniture collection begins in the 1950s with the Rex foldable chair. Its design incorporates innovation, functionality and beauty. Niko Kralj stretched the boundaries of bent plywood while maintaining a focus on aesthetics, resulting in an indispensable series of furniture that has stood the test of time: the Rex Collection. The Rex Chair is a key product in this collection, merging ergonomics, comfort and uncompromised folding functionality in a lightweight piece. Rex Chair designed mid-century architect and designer Niko Kralj in 1956. With over two million chairs produced, the designs of Niko Kralj (1920-2013) have served numerous generations. After the Second World War, traditional production methods gave way to modern inventions and led to a new era of furniture design. As a trained architect and an absolute pioneer in this field, Niko developed truly innovative pieces for the time and became one of the first ever industrial designers. It’s little wonder that fellow professionals are gradually recognising his work, which has been rewarded with permanent displays in design museums such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, Designmuseum Denmark and The International Design Museum Munich. Rex chair in Mid-Century Modern style is now available in natural oak and black oak.
