Product description
The Rex chair, designed by Niko Kralj for Stol Kamnik, is considered one of the most important design classics from Slovenia and the former Yugoslavia. Kralj designed the chair in the 1950s, a period when functionality, affordability, and mass production were central to modern furniture design. With the Rex, he combined these principles in an exceptionally elegant way. The chair features a lightweight, flexible wooden frame with a distinctive slatted seat and backrest. Thanks to its clever folding mechanism, it can be easily folded and stored compactly, without distracting metal hinges visually dominating the design. Typically, the Rex was crafted from bent beech and/or plywood, as was this example—materials that offer both strength and comfort. The slightly springy slats provide a comfortable seat, while the design reveals subtle ergonomics. What makes the Rex special is the combination of simplicity and technical ingenuity. The chair has a minimalist appearance, but its construction is well-conceived and efficient. The design received widespread international recognition. A copy of the Rex chair is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, underscoring its cultural and historical significance. Throughout the decades, this model has always remained relevant, a testament to both the popularity and the durability of the design. Today, the Rex chair is considered an icon of mid-century modern design. It fits effortlessly into interiors where functionality, craftsmanship, and timeless simplicity converge. This means that Kralj's design remains surprisingly relevant, more than seventy years after its creation. This chair is ready for immediate use and boasts its own unique character and patina—a piece with soul and a real ambiance maker!
