An exceptional limited edition set of 10 danish mid century preben fabricius and jørgen kastlhom fk high back armchairs, model fk 6728-4g for walter knoll, in a cognac coloured leather with a white gloss shell and polished aluminium 4 star base. The price listed is for all 10 chairs as shown.
originally designed by powerhouse 1960s design team preben fabricius and jørgen kastholm in 1964, their ‘tulip’ chair has become an icon of mid century danish design. The actual original name for this chair that was produced by kill international is ‘the bucket chair’ and it is still produced today by walter knoll under that name. Needless to say the name comes nowhere near close to portraying the beautiful and curvaceous lines it exhibits which is why over the years it’s often been referred to as the ‘tulip’ or ‘bird’ chair.
the original production name was the fk 6725 which relates to the chair with the fixed base and seat. Other production variants number from 6725-6729 and also have been produced in a 3 leg (3g), 4 leg (4g) or 5 star (5r) base and with or without castors. The original chair was produced with a fixed seat and base, but later versions had a rotating seat - and later still a 4 star and 5 star base with both a tilting and rotating seat. All production models had circular slides or castors fitted to the base of the feet so if you ever see a listing without one or the other they are missing in action.
the fk high back armchair version, as shown here, has a leather pad and a gloss white shell and a 4 star rotating base. This was a special edition, as confirmed by email via walter knoll, and was therefore only produced in very limited numbers. The fine lines and contours found on the fk chair are still as compelling today as they were when the chair was first introduced. The sculptured arm rests elegantly curve up and away from the chair base and provide both comfort and support.
it’s a stylish, easy going chair that works well both in a domestic environment as a dining, side or desk chair, or in a business environment as a meeting room or conference room chair.
all the chairs in this set are in good used condition with just minor signs of wear here and there as expected. There really is nothing much to choose between any of the 10 as there are no major marks or damages. The polished 4 star base on all the chairs are also in good condition with just a few scuff marks and scratches on the tops of the profiles, again just as you would expect.
the chairs date from the late 1990s and although the 4 star base model was only available as a special edition the 3 star model is still produced today by walter knoll and currently retails at over £4,000 per chair.
by reference to the photographs you can see that this set is a great match to a large and impressive matteo grassi cream leather and glass dining table that i also have listed and as such the entire ensemble can be purchased via another one of my listings on this site.
