About the Item

We're well known for our inventory being highly sought after and collected items - and this is one of our absolute all-time favorites. The sleek styling of this FK-87 Grasshopper chaise lounge by Preben Fabricius & Jorgen Kastholm for Alfred Kill international is the original production from the 1960s and not the recent reproductions by Lange. The iconic silhouette of the bent steel frame along with extremely comfortable channel tufted black leather and head bolster pillow, and signature canvas sling makes a recipe that is finely finished by its exquisite leather wrapped arms - which possesses gorgeous patina showing its refined age. Condition on this FK-87 Grasshopper chaise lounge by Preben Fabricius & Jorgen Kastholm for Alfred Kill international is exceptional - there is nothing that I can call "wear" - because when you are looking for a Grasshopper chaise, you want to find "soft-age" to it. You don't want heavy wear and soiling but you want that beautiful patina that you can only get from years and years of something that is well cared for. And this Grasshopper chaise longue has precisely this. This FK-87 Grasshopper chaise lounge by Preben Fabricius & Jorgen Kastholm for Alfred Kill international is ideal for collectors, designers, architects - or anyone who has refined taste - this is the connoisseurs chair, this is the classy choice for a sophisticated client. If I could only take 10 items to a deserted island - this would absolutely be one of my choices. And these are extremely hard to find, so when you find one it is hard to let go. Luckily I have another one I've owned for many loving years so I decided to make this one available. Available to ship or be picked up immediately. Memo available for approved design firms and trade clients. Located in our Downtown Los Angeles gallery, available for viewing by appointment Monday through Friday. Measures: H 32" x W 28.25" x D 55".
