AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful set of 2 Fabricius & Kastholm swivel armchairs for Walter Knoll, model FK 6727, in beautiful brown leather with brushed aluminum base, Germany, 1990s.
In absolutely top condition.
The current new price for this armchair in this configuration is over €5,000.
The Walter Knoll FK Lounge 6727-3G is a masterpiece of modern furniture design and one of the defining classics of the 20th century. Its distinctive look is the work of the Danish design duo Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm, who became known in the late 1960s for their clean lines, uncompromising functionality, and appreciation of high-quality materials. Their aim was to create furniture that felt timeless while still making a strong architectural statement.
The FK Lounge embodies this approach perfectly. Its elegant, shell-shaped seat combines minimalist design with outstanding comfort. Generous padding and soft leather make for a relaxing seating experience, while the ergonomically shaped shell provides secure support. The iconic three-legged swivel base in polished aluminum lends it a light, almost floating appearance with its delicate form—a hallmark of the designers.
Today, the FK Lounge is considered a modern classic that adds a distinctive touch to living spaces, reception areas, or high-end office lounges. It combines Walter Knoll’s craftsmanship with the design heritage of two influential designers—and offers design enthusiasts a piece of furniture with a genuine history and enduring value.

The last photos show the two armchairs alongside two more in aubergine-colored leather, which we are offering in a separate lot.
This gives interested buyers the option of purchasing just two as well.
If all 4 are purchased, combined shipping will of course be available.
The Brüning for Kill coffee table, which pairs well with the chairs, is also being offered in a separate lot.
As we deal in vintage furniture, signs of use are unavoidable and part of the nature of pre-owned items. We therefore only draw attention to more significant flaws and damage, with separate photos. Nevertheless, we always do our best to capture the condition of the items as accurately as possible.
The goods are subject to differential taxation under § 25a UStG; VAT is not shown separately on the invoice.
Seller's Story
Since we can remember we felt attracted to beauty and exceptional things. Aesthetic has always been more than something superficial for us. It was something magic going much deeper than the surface, creating positive feelings and energies.
Harmonies, sacred proportions, colors and materials combined with time, create their very special energies and are mostly things that hardly can be described but always can be felt.
To define beauty would be far to philosophical, but we think, if something touches you by the way it looks and gives you good energy at the same time, then it would define our personal definition of beauty.
And if beauty is something that has no other purpose than making you feel good just by the way it looks, then beauty is something we surely do not want to miss in our lives.
We thank existence for giving us all those unique materials and designs and all the talented designers and craftsmen for bringing their visions and abilities to life and sharing it, to bring us purpose combined with joy.
We are glad to have the platform Catawiki where we can share our passion for extraordinary and beautiful things with like-minded people.
