Set of Postmodern Sculptural Dining Chairs by KFF Karl Friedrich, Germany, 1980s This sculptural set of four dining chairs by KFF Karl Friedrich is a rare and striking example of 1980s postmodern German design. Designed with strong architectural lines and bold contrast, each chair features an elegant interplay between minimalist steel legs and curved ergonomic backs, which create a dynamic silhouette from every angle. These chairs have a commanding presence with their uniquely flared black lacquered backrests that taper down into a delicate waist before transitioning into vibrant lime green seats. The seat and back inserts are upholstered in a soft, microfiber-like fabric that adds a pop of color and texture, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the design. The black metal frames provide a stark contrast and visual stability, while the subtly curved legs give a nod to the expressive design language of the 1980s. The angular, almost skeletal form blends industrial rigor with unexpected grace. In excellent vintage condition, the set shows only light cosmetic wear consistent with age and use. There are no structural issues, and the chairs remain sturdy and comfortable. Whether placed around a dining table, used as statement pieces in a creative workspace, or exhibited as design collectibles, these chairs add a distinct postmodern flair and reflect the avant-garde spirit of late 20th-century European design. Dimensions (per chair): Height: 87 cm (34.25 in) Width: 49 cm (19.29 in) Depth: 57 cm (22.44 in) Seat Height: 47 cm (18.50 in) Origin: Germany, 1980s Style: Postmodern Condition: Very good vintage condition with minor wear. This set offers a perfect fusion of bold aesthetics, comfort, and collectible value — a must-have for postmodern design enthusiasts. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
