REX is a name that most people would associate with our four legged, furry friends… but there’s another REX you need to know about. The REX folding chair, designed in 1952 by Slovenian designer Niko Kralj as a way to bring good design to the masses, the REX chair turned out to be a great [...]
Eames Management Chair
Yesterday at work it occurred to me that my chair was an old piece of crap… Granted, this wasn’t my regular workstation which is only somewhat more ergonomic, but since I was working there I’ll call it mine.

Another fabulous design classic from the 1930’s. The Hardoy Chair (also known as the Butterfly or BKR chair) was designed by Jorge Ferrari-Hardoy in 1938 and originally produced by Knoll.

Brno Chair
Designed in 1929 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the Brno chair is another example of the timeless quality of Bauhaus Furniture. Like the Barcelona Chair and other pieces, the Brno chair is made of sturdy steel construction and leather upholstery. Despite it being 80 years old, it looks as modern as anything being produced [...]
