His wife, Gabriella Kiss, designs beautiful jewlery pieces as well as artful additions for Lerecke’s furniture. Driven by their passion for quality craftmanship and original design, the couple’s latest exhibition showcases their united talents.

Chris Lehrecke has designed furniture for over three decades. Although trained as a studio artist, Lehrecke turned to the art of furniture in the early 80s. He began by designing custom pieces for architects and interior designers, yet quickly honed his own practice and made a name for his himself within the world of high-end design. Due to his eye for timeless shapes paired with natural lines, Lehrecke’s designs evolved into a limited production line of lamps, benches, stools, daybeds, pedestals, tables, and bed frames. Each piece reverberates Lehrecke’s aesthetic, which is defined by his crisp, modern style, quality of materials, and simplistic ethos. Represented by Ralph Pucci International, Lehrecke’s work truly reflects the epitome of high-end design.
