Description from the seller
Minimalist rectangular postmodern desk chair in Memphis style, Karl-Friedrich Förster vintage KFF, in Italian cobalt blue velvet, grey metal chair
Minimalist circular postmodern chair 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 articulated rectangular metal frame powder-coated in glossy silvery gray, featuring a pair of wooden beech ball accents at the end of each armrest, and seats upholstered in cobalt blue velvet. The chair design shows strong influences from the Memphis School of Design of Milan.
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 evolved into a globally appreciated brand and a popular choice in late-80s, early-90s German homes.
Origin: very likely produced in the 1980s in West Germany by KFF.
Condition: in excellent vintage condition
Dimensions:
Width (measured arm-to-arm): 54 cm
Seat diameter: 41 cm
Depth: 53 cm
