AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rectangular minimalist postmodern desk chair in Memphis style, KFF Karl-Friedrich Förster vintage, in Italian cobalt blue velvet, chair in gray metal
Circular minimalist postmodern armchair in Memphis style Karl-Friedrich Förster vintage KFF
A curious design piece from the 1980s designed by Karl-Friedrich Förster for his eponymous company KFF, this armchair is made with a three-dimensionally engineered anthropomorphic rectangular metal frame powder-coated in glossy silvery gray, featuring a pair of spherical birch wood accents, one at the end of each armrest, and upholstered cobalt blue velvet seat cushions. The chair design shows strong influences from the Milan-based Memphis School of Design.
Unique design, high-quality materials and craftsmanship: KFF is a German brand that designs and develops seating and tables for living and dining areas. The company, founded in Hörstmar by Karl Friedrich Förster, in 1984, took its name from the founder's initials. Over the years, it has quickly become a globally recognized brand and a popular choice in late-80s, early-90s German homes.
