Story
The lounge member of the FK family
The press text says the FK Lounge Chair has been part of the FK family from the very beginning, and that its striking contours make it an icon of minimalism. The product page describes how the FK evolved into a swivel lounge chair.
Fabricius and Kastholm
The two Danish interior designers are described on the page as dedicated to the optimization of form, material and ergonomics. The press text says the FK bucket seat became a model for modern design at the end of the 1960s.
