Kaiser Chair by Jack Ränge
Kaiser Chair by Jack Ränge
Gemla not only produces new chairs, but it also refurbishes vintage chairs, proud as it is on the quality of its products. This Kaiser Chair is named Kaiser Chair, because it was made for the Kaiser of Japan.
About Jack Ränge
Jack Ränge (1917–2011) worked mostly as an interior architect for the contract market but also designed furniture for companies such as Gemla, Klaessons, and Nässjö Stolfabrik. Ränge is best known for the bentwood chair Kaiser and the laminated chair KS 251 both designed in the 1960s. The two chairs became great successes and were used in several offices and public spaces.

Prototype Feltri Chair by Gaetano Pesce on Wright
A Happy 2024 to you all. Like last year I’ll try to post at least once per day in 2024. Last year, after Easter, I stopped when I was hospitalized for 10 days and had to lie down for a couple of weeks. Then my whole rhythm had disappeared. A new Year with new chances!
Prototype Feltri Chair by Gaetano Pesce
Lot 140 at a Wright Auction (same as lot 140 at the Lama Auction) shows us:
one of Pesce’s two original studies for the Feltri chair. The felt is covered in rubber, which allows it to be washed and waterproofed. This prototype’s base is made of bent felt treated with a rigid resin; this idea was later abandoned because of the materials’ fragility.
