Fredrik A. Kayser is a well-loved furniture designer from the Scandinavian Design period of the mid-twentieth century. Fredrik began his carpentry apprenticeship right after the middle school exam. At the age of 15, he had already drawn his first dining room, which was put into production at Viken Møbelfabrikk. Kayser got his diploma at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in Oslo in 1945, the same year he started his career at the Rastad & Relling Tegnekontor.

Kayser's furniture is characterized by elegant design and material sensitivity, with a rare sense of proportions and composition. In his most famous design, “Krysset”, the front and back legs are fixed together by four wood nails that in a refined way emphasize the construction. Kayser was inspired by the trends of the time, but always managed to give his creations a unique personal touch, with elegance that made them instant classics.

Vatne Møbler is a renowned Norwegian furniture manufacturer established in 1946 by Knut Sæter, celebrated for its mid-century modern designs and iconic collaborations. Best known for Sigurd Ressell’s iconic 1970s "Falcon" chair, the company produced high-quality, Scandinavian-style furniture, including leather lounges, armchairs, and sofas by designers like Fredrik A. Kayser.

Able to blend against a myriad of design backdrops from Danish Modern to Contemporary to Boho-Chic and everything in between this high back lounger was built for comfort. Buy it as is or have us re-upholster it in a fabric of your choosing. Either way, make it yours today before it's gone forever.
