The 4455 Chair comes in black lacquered wood supported by a black powder coated frame and can be complemented with offset upholstery for the seat.Dating back to 1955, 4455 is a unique design statement by Niko Kralj, way ahead of its time. Even today, the sleek backrest made out of a single piece of bent solid wood, presents a demanding challenge for wood manufacturing. Strong and durable, sophisticated and timeless.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.4455 Dining Chair in Mid-Century Modern style is now available in black oak.
