Danish BO-561 Lounge Chairs in Cognac by Fabricius and Kastholm for BoEx, 1960s

About the Item

These set of 2 BO-561 Lounge chairs are designed by Preben Juhl Fabricius and Jorgen Kastholm in the sixties. The 2 Danish designers met each other in the 50s but start only working together in the 60s. While Fabricius was an educated cabinetmaker , it was with Kastholm's unique experience as a blacksmith that the obvious and usual choice of material would be steel. Allthough the two designers have individually created some interesting pieces, it is in pair that they have achieved their greatest succes, such as the BO-561 lounge chairs.

  • Danish FK90 Coffeetable by Fabricius & Kastholm for Kill international, 1960s
    By Jørgen Kastholm & Preben Fabricius, Alfred Kill International
    Located in Eindhoven, Noord Brabant
    This glass and flat steel table is was designed by Preben Fabricius (1931-1984) and Jørgen Kastholm (1931-2007). Together they started a design studio, Fabricius & Kastholm in 1961. These two Danish designers focussed on creating timeless functional designs that were simple and had the aesthetic of minimalism. Fabricius and Kastholm at first were creating pieces with leather, glass, or steel; they found inspiration in the sturdiness of Scandinavian designs in the sixties. In 1969, the pair was awarded the German Gute Form prize for the famous FK 87 Grasshopper Chair and the FK armchairs.
