About the Item
Rarely do you find a chair the exudes mid century luxury-- this chair is it. This exquisite FK-87 Grasshopper Chaise, a timeless masterpiece designed by Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm for Alfred Kill in the 1960s. This remarkable chaise lounge captures the essence of mid-century modern design and showcases the impeccable craftsmanship and luxurious materials that define it.
Fabricius and Kastholm, both Danish architects and designers, formed a remarkable partnership that produced iconic furniture designs celebrated for their clean lines, minimalist aesthetics, and functional elegance. Their collaboration epitomized the spirit of Danish modernism, and their works continue to be highly regarded in the world of design.
Alfred Kill, a renowned German furniture manufacturer, recognized the talent and vision of Fabricius and Kastholm, commissioning them to create the FK-87 Grasshopper Chaise. Kill's commitment to exceptional quality and meticulous attention to detail made the collaboration a perfect match, resulting in a chaise lounge that embodies luxury and sophistication.
This particular FK-87 Grasshopper Chaise exudes an undeniable allure with its heavily patinated cognac leather upholstery. The rich, deep color and worn-in texture tell the story of decades of use and evoke a sense of history and character. The patina is a testament to the high-quality leather and the countless moments of relaxation and comfort it has provided over the years.
Adding to the charm are the small nicks on the steel frame, which bear witness to the passage of time and contribute to the unique character of this lounge chair. These subtle signs of age only enhance its appeal, making it a truly authentic piece of vintage furniture.
As a luxury collector's item, the FK-87 Grasshopper Chaise commands attention and admiration. Its design, coupled with the rarity and quality associated with Fabricius and Kastholm's creations, positions it as a coveted piece for design enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Embodying the spirit of mid-century modern design, this chaise lounge encapsulates the era's emphasis on sleek lines, functionality, and refined elegance. Its sculptural form, reminiscent of a grasshopper at rest, offers an inviting and comfortable seating experience that transcends time.
The legacy of Fabricius and Kastholm, along with the prestigious reputation of Alfred Kill, make this FK-87 Grasshopper Chaise an exceptional investment in both aesthetics and craftsmanship. With its luxurious patinated leather upholstery and steel frame bearing the marks of age, this chaise lounge is a testament to the enduring allure of mid-century modern design, a statement piece that exudes sophistication and history.
We currently have this piece in our gallery paired with a Paul Evans credenza and a Vladimir Kagan sofa and not only does this piece make a statement, it steals the show. This chaise lounge would look incredible in any mid century modern, modern or contemporary home.
