Does nog happen very often to find a set of four of these beauties in this condition. The black velvet is in very good condition. But most important, they sit very comfortably. Their appearance is very inviting also because they are quite wide and large. Not a regular armchair but way more comfortable. Perfect for meeting rooms where you need a certain class. Preben Juhl Fabricius (1931-1984) (left) and Jørgen Kastholm (1931-2007) (right) were driven by a mutual mission to make form a pure derivative of function. Both were architects and graduated from the Danish School of Interior Design, where they studied under Finn Juhl and subsequently with Arne Jacobsen. Although they partnered for less than a decade, creating only a handful of designs, Fabricius & Kastholm left a legacy of work honoured in museums around the world — from the Museu de Arte in São Paulo to MoMA in New York and the Musée d`Art Moderne in Paris. Wear consistent with age and use. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
