Mosquito Dining Chair, Leaf Green Oak, Wood Frame + Plywood, Mid-Century Modern

About the Item

Named after its wing-like seat, the Mosquito chair is a genuine eyecatcher, an elegant piece with a touch of poetry. This innovative design proved too demanding for 1950s manufacturing methods. But thanks to the recent efforts of Rex Kralj to bring this exemplary chair to life by using present-day machinery, design enthusiasts can now enjoy this fine example of innovative furniture. Mosquito Chair designed mid-century architect and designer Niko Kralj in 1953. 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. The Mosquito chair comes in leaf green, natural oak, natural walnut and several distinctive colours.
