Directing Rex

Chair auction

Within the scope of the 25^th Ljubljana International Film Festival, the Slovenian Designers’ Society has provided the interior design for Cankarjev dom’s Foyer II, the central meeting place and the venue for the festival’s accompanying programme. Members of the Slovenian Designers’ Society have decided to use a Slovenian design icon – the Rex armchair. During the 25^th Liffe, the black, white or natural beech Rex chairs will take on different appearances: for the viewers to sit in, for socialising, for stars, for... The changes that represent a creative challenge are based on the standpoint of the chair’s late designer, architect Niko Kralj, who believed that there was always room for improvement. The chairs will be functional, original, signed, designed for the cinema-goers to sit in between screenings and also take photos of themselves or, perhaps, buy one at an auction.

The project has been co-devised by the Slovenian Designers Society in Impakta Les, d.o.o.
