Rex Kralj on Classicdesign.it

Rex Kralj was founded to celebrate and preserve the legacy of Niko Kralj, the legendary Slovenian designer who shaped modern industrial design and left an indelible mark on European furniture history. Established in 2012 by Žiga Vrhovec and Tomaž Sešlar, the brand carries forward Kralj’s timeless vision, combining his principles of functionality, simplicity, and beauty with a contemporary design sensibility.
At the heart of the collection lies the iconic Rex Chair, a folding armchair made of bent plywood that redefined comfort and design in the 1950s. Today, it stands as a true design classic, featured in the permanent collection of the MoMA in New York and other major museums worldwide. Each Rex Kralj piece reflects a perfect balance between local craftsmanship and innovation, offering ergonomic comfort, lasting durability, and an essential aesthetic that naturally complements any interior.
