Producer of upholstered furniture Sedes Regia began its activity in 1992. Until 1996 the company was known as Jurga Design. It started from the idea to create and make a piece of upholstered seating with metal framework. Forms of such furniture can be most unexpected, perfectly suitable in various interiors, giving a sense of comfort, and its stability is guaranteed. Besides, such type of furniture well fitted Sedes Regia (from Latin – king’s bench) concept: valued not for its superficial gloss, but for unexpected functionality of form and comfort, as it is the furniture which gives sense of freedom.
Sedes Regia could maintain such balance by comprehending that furniture design is not less important than its quality. Company technologists and designers constantly followed world tendencies in furniture design, and visited exhibitions in different countries.
But the company did not remain a mere observer. In 1993 and 1995 it participated at the exhibition Interzum in Cologne. Contacts were created there, and co-operation with German companies Begana Collection and Form in Form Futon was started. In 1995 furniture of Sedes Regia was displayed at world exhibitions Thema Domus in Frankfurt am Main and imm cologne. Sedes Regia and its original, and sometimes even eccentric furniture for a long time was better known and appreciated in foreign countries than in Lithuania, where poor, post-soviet interiors with dull, mass produced material environment still dominated.
Today in Lithuania Sedes Regia has gained the reputation of a producer of high quality individual upholstered furniture for restaurants, clubs, hotels, shops, home, also, individual and series furniture for office. Sedes Regia invests into production equipment and software, and searches for new technologies. The company was the first in Lithuania to start producing furniture with cold foamed polyurethane. Sede Regia collaborates with designers and architects in different countries. Creating their own collections and producing furniture for individual orders, these untiring enthusiasts willingly accept a challenge to produce most unexpected forms. Their knowledge of typology of materials, ergonomics, plastic anatomy of furniture and deep aesthetic perception let them successfully solve the everlasting problem of the idea and its implementation.
