Thanks to the global appreciation of its products, Rexite subsequently started to extend its innovative vitality and its technological resources also to the furnishing of public spaces and private homes. Nowadays Rexite's exports account for more than 70% of its total production.
The company's original vocation for encouraging unexpected and ironic aspects without ignoring functionality, research on materials and respect for the environment continues to reflect the company's philosophy, which may be summed up in a few words: To create objects which are simple but not banal, original but not bizarre.
Great chairs!
Product Review for Rexite - Olivia Stackable Chair
We use these bold orange chairs in the kitchen and they brighten up the space beautifully. The design on these is great. They seem a little expensive for what they are, but they work for me, so I do not regret the purchase.
Service Review for Rexite - Olivia Stackable Chair:
These took 3 months to arrive -- a long wait. They don't let you know they are backordered until the original waiting time is up, so be prepared to get an email the day you THINK the chairs will ship that they are delayed by yet another month.
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love these chairs
Product Review for Rexite - Olivia Stackable Chair
I was very happy with this purchase. I got the chairs in orange and I use them with the matching table in my kitchen. They are a shockingly bold color -- which I happen to love -- but they do look a little like fancy conference room chairs. These do not look like $300+ chairs, but I am happy with them nonetheless. The style and color work for me.
