About this vintage design furniture
About the designers.
Preben Fabricius (1931-1984) trained as a carpenter in Copenhagen, before studying interior design with Finn Juhl, where he met the blacksmith Jørgen Kastholm (1931-2007). In 1961, Fabricius and Kastholm founded a studio together, which later spawned a number of furniture design classics. Their intention was to create furniture with a clear aesthetic form. Their ultimate goal was timelessness.
The Danish interior designers focused on optimizing form, material and ergonomics, following the functional-aesthetic tradition of Scandinavian design. The Bauhaus also shaped their approach.
For the high-end KNOLL furniture factory from Germany, the iconic "FK" chair was designed, among other things, which was the first German armchair to receive an award for good design, the "Alpha" offered here also comes from the sleeve of these gentlemen.
About this model.
High end furniture with a very high level of seating comfort.
Heavy in construction and made from the very best materials, beautifully brushed steel frame, and the finest black leather.
This furniture was often found in the offices of lawyers and multinationals, for example, these chairs could be found at the headquarters of the Siemens company in the boardrooms, but also in the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Human Rights. .
These two copies are in a very nice vintage condition, and immediately usable.
