Circular minimalist postmodern chair in Memphis style, Karl-Friedrich Förster vintage KFF.
A curious piece of 1980s design designed by Karl-Friedrich Förster for his eponymous company KFF, this armchair is made with a three-dimensional anthropomorphic irregular rectangular metal frame powder-coated in glossy silver-gray that features a pair of spherical accents in birch wood, one at the end of each armrest, and seats upholstered in cobalt blue velvet. The chair's design shows strong influences from the Memphis School of Design of Milan.
