About the Item
Striking Postmodern Armchairs by KFF Karl-Friedrich, Germany, 1980s
Bold and sculptural, this pair of armchairs by KFF Karl-Friedrich embodies the essence of postmodern design. Produced in Germany during the late 20th century, these chairs reflect the playful yet refined aesthetic that defined the era. Their confident silhouette, with sweeping curves and geometric elements, delivers both comfort and visual impact.
The armchairs feature a black powder-coated metal frame with strong architectural lines, contrasted by striking red suede upholstery on the seat and uniquely shaped half-moon backrest. The use of color and form makes these pieces functional works of art—ideal for interiors that embrace daring design statements.
In excellent vintage condition, the chairs show minimal signs of wear consistent with age and use. There are no structural issues; only very light surface marks or cosmetic imperfections may be present, typical of well-maintained vintage furniture. They remain entirely sound and ready for use.
Perfect as accent chairs in a living room, a creative addition to a studio, or statement seating in an office or gallery setting, these pieces bridge the gap between form and function. They capture the imaginative spirit of 1980s European design and would be a valuable addition to any collector’s postmodern portfolio.
