Niko Kralj
Ljubljana hosts a large retrospective on Niko Kralj, the founding father of Slovenian industrial design and a towering figure among 20th century industrial designers. Over his long career, Kralj has come up with innovative, socially-conscious designs for countless pieces of furniture and contributed to the development of the quality of living in Slovenia and international recognition of the country's furniture industry. The item that earned him a place among the world's top industrial designers is his famous foldable Rex chair, which is included in the collection of MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in New York.
