Rex (chair)

[citation needed] The Rex Chair was ranked as the second most significant Slovenian product of the 20th century by the "Finance" newspaper in 1999.

[citation needed] The Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana devoted an exhibit to the Rex chair in 2004 for its 50th anniversary.

Bent plywood armrests support the elbows, and the back panel joints strengthen the chair's structure.

[4] Made entirely of wood, this chair consisted of a solid beechwood frame that securely held pieces of bowed, rectangular-shaped plywood.

The armrests, also made of solid wood with the front sections cut in a round shape, are joined statically to the two diagonal legs.

The ends of the curved sidepieces were fitted into the crosspieces at the edges of the seat and back panels, avoiding the use of visible wood screws on the front of the chair.

To support this A-shape, the plywood armrest, which is curved at a right angle (through high-frequency dielectric heating), is affixed to the upper section.
