          PREBEN FABRICIUS (Denmark, 1931 - 1984) for KNOLL. Pair of "Conversation" chairs, model 710. Designed in 1972. Dark chromed steel frame, black leather upholstery. Made at Walter Knoll, with maker's labels. Small marks of use. Measurements: 78 x 72 x 78 cm. Seat height 42 cm. As a true classic, Fabricius tells the story of the furniture. The "Conversation Chair" combines Scandinavian design tradition and functional aesthetics with the charm of casual seating comfort. Precise metal processing, superior surface quality: the armrests and supporting structure frame the sliding seat. The result is lightness and simplicity. Whether alone or together, it is made for living rooms, foyers and lounges. Preben Juul Fabricius trained as a cabinetmaker with master carpenter Niels Vodder and also studied at the School of Interior Design with Finn Juhl in the mid-1950s. There he also met cabinetmaker Jørgen Kastholm, who would later become his long-time partner. The two shared a common vision of furniture design, based on minimalism and quality and inspired by the creations of Charles Eames and Mies van der Rohe. They were looking for an ideal that was timeless in its simplicity. In 1961 they set up a studio together in Gentofte, and four years later they presented their first designs at the Fredericia furniture fair, where they attracted the attention of the German furniture manufacturer Alfred Kill. The latter offered them a lucrative contract that allowed them to work freely, so Kastholm and Fabricius moved to Stuttgart with their first designs to start production in Kill's factory. Soon after, they made the international breakthrough at the 1966 Cologne fair, where they showed a complete series of home and office furniture developed from ten of their original designs. The two designers worked together between 1961 and 1968, a seven-year period in which they produced numerous designs that are now considered classics, such as the FK 6725 Tulip Chair, the FK 87 Grasshopper and the Scimitar. During this period, their furniture was also part of important international exhibitions, held at such prominent centers as the MOMA in New York (1967) and the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris (1967). Today, Kastholm and Fabricius' designs can be seen at the MACBA in Barcelona, the MOMA in New York, the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, the Ringling Museum in Florida, the Art Museum in Brasilia, the Design Center in Stuttgart, the Haus Industriform in Essen, the Neue Sammlung in Munich, the Staatsgemäldesammlung Bayer in Munich, the Kunstindustrimuseum in Berlin, the Kunststofmuseum in Düsseldorf, the World Import Mart Museum and the History + Folkways Museum in Japan and the Museum für Angewandte Kunstgeschichte in Cologne.

Chrome-plated steel, canvas fabric, loose cushions and neck pillow upholstered in black aniline leather. Laced armrests in harness leather. Lange Production Editor. Brand new, Delivered in original packaging. With photos of the model. Measurements: 81 x 150 cm. This design was created by designers Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm, consisting of a lightweight chromed steel structure, whose shape resembles a grasshopper, and a stretched fabric that serves as a support for the cushion that is loose on it, plus a dyed leather headrest. Its sober, light and elegant design, with simple lines, results in a timeless product that at the same time captures the genuine spirit of the era. It is a piece of furniture that brings together design, quality materials and functionality in a single object.

In 1961 they set up a studio together in Gentofte, and four years later they presented their first designs at the Fredericia furniture fair, where they attracted the attention of the German furniture manufacturer Alfred Kill. The latter offered them a lucrative contract that allowed them to work freely, so Kastholm and Fabricius moved to Stuttgart with their first designs to start production in Kill's factory. Soon after, they made the international breakthrough at the 1966 Cologne fair, where they showed a complete series of home and office furniture developed from ten of their original designs. The two designers worked together between 1961 and 1968, a seven-year period in which they produced numerous designs that are now considered classics, such as the FK 6725 Tulip Chair, the FK 87 Grasshopper and the Scimitar. During this period, their furniture was also part of important international exhibitions, held at such prominent centers as the MOMA in New York (1967) and the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris (1967). Today, Kastholm and Fabricius' designs can be seen at the MACBA in Barcelona, the MOMA in New York, the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, the Ringling Museum in Florida, the Art Museum in Brasilia, the Design Center in Stuttgart, the Haus Industriform in Essen, the Neue Sammlung in Munich, the Staatsgemäldesammlung Bayer in Munich, the Kunstindustrimuseum in Berlin, the Kunststofmuseum in Düsseldorf, the World Import Mart Museum and the History + Folkways Museum in Japan and the Museum für Angewandte Kunstgeschichte in Cologne.

Soon after, they made the international breakthrough at the 1966 Cologne fair, where they showed a complete series of home and office furniture developed from ten of their original designs. The two designers worked together between 1961 and 1968, a seven-year period in which they produced numerous designs that are now considered classics, such as the FK 6725 Tulip Chair, the FK 87 Grasshopper and the Scimitar. During this period, their furniture was also part of important international exhibitions, held at such prominent centers as the MOMA in New York (1967) and the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris (1967). Today, Kastholm and Fabricius' designs can be seen at the MACBA in Barcelona, the MOMA in New York, the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, the Ringling Museum in Florida, the Art Museum in Brasilia, the Design Center in Stuttgart, the Haus Industriform in Essen, the Neue Sammlung in Munich, the Staatsgemäldesammlung Bayer in Munich, the Kunstindustrimuseum in Berlin, the Kunststofmuseum in Düsseldorf, the World Import Mart Museum and the History + Folkways Museum in Japan and the Museum für Angewandte Kunstgeschichte in Cologne.

Chrome-plated steel, canvas fabric, loose cushions and neck cushion upholstered in cognac aniline leather. Laced armrests in harness leather. Lange Production Editor. Brand new, Delivered in original packaging. With photos of the model. Measurements: 81 x 150 cm. This design was created by designers Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm, consisting of a lightweight chromed steel structure, whose shape resembles a grasshopper, and a stretched fabric that serves as a support for the cushion that is loose on it, plus a cognac-colored leather headrest. Its sober, light and elegant design, with simple lines, results in a timeless product that at the same time captures the genuine spirit of the era. It is a piece of furniture that brings together design, quality materials and functionality in a single object. Danish architect and designer Jørgen Kastholm began his training as a blacksmith, but soon left to pursue furniture design. He attended the Copenhagen School of Interior Design, where he was taught by Finn Juhl. There he also met cabinetmaker Preben Fabricius, who would later become his partner.

Armrests with leather details. Canvas underclothing. Manufactured at Arnold Exclusiv, with makers labels. In good vintage condition with traces from use. Measurements: 76 x 210 x 78 cm. 40 cm. (seat height). As a genuine classic, Fabricius tells the story of furniture. The "Conversation chair" combines Scandinavian design tradition and functional aesthetics with the charm of casual seating comfort. Precise metal processing, superior surface quality: the armrests and the supporting structure frame the sliding seat. The result is lightness and simplicity. Whether as a soloist or as an ensemble, it was made for lounges, foyers and living rooms. Preben Juul Fabricius was trained as a cabinetmaker with master carpenter Niels Vodder and also studied at the School of Interior Design under Finn Juhl in the mid-1950s. There he also met cabinetmaker Jørgen Kastholm, who later became his long-term partner. The two shared a common vision of furniture design, based on minimalism and quality and inspired by the creations of Charles Eames and Mies van der Rohe. Their quest was to achieve an ideal that, by its simplicity, would be timeless. In 1961 they set up a studio together in Gentofte, and four years later they presented their first designs at the Fredericia Furniture fair, where they attracted the attention of the German furniture manufacturer Alfred Kill. The latter offered them a lucrative contract that allowed them to work freely, so Kastholm and Fabricius moved to Stuttgart with their first designs to start production in Kill's factory. Shortly afterwards, they made the international breakthrough at the 1966 Cologne trade fair, where they showed a complete series of home and office furniture, developed from ten of their original designs. The two designers worked together between 1961 and 1968, a period of seven years in which they produced numerous designs that are now considered classics, such as the Tulip Chair FK 6725, the Grasshopper FK 87 and the Scimitar. During this period, their furniture also formed part of important international exhibitions, held in such prominent centres as the MOMA in New York (1967) and the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris (1967). Today, designs by Kastholm and Fabricius can be seen at the MACBA in Barcelona, the MOMA in New York, the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, the Ringling Museum in Florida, the Art Museum of Brasilia, the Design Center in Stuttgart, the Haus Industriform in Essen, the Neue Sammlung in Munich, the Staatsgemäldesammlung Bayer in Munich, the Kunstindustrimuseum in Berlin, the Kunststofmuseum in Düsseldorf, the World Import Mart Museum and the History + Folkways Museum in Japan and the Museum für Angewandte Kunstgeschichte in Cologne.

Produced by Kill International, with sticker. Normal marks of use due to age. Measurements: Armchair 94 x 75 x 85 cm. Seat height 38 cm. Stool 37 x 60 x 50 cm. The FK-85 was created by designers Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm. It consists of a lightweight structure in cast aluminum, with seat, backrest and armrests upholstered in leather. Its sober and elegant design, with simple lines, makes it a timeless product but at the same time captures all the spirit of the time. It is a piece of furniture that brings together design, quality materials and functionality in a single object. Danish architect and designer Jørgen Kastholm began his training as a blacksmith, but soon left to pursue furniture design. He attended the Copenhagen School of Interior Design, where he was taught by Finn Juhl. There he also met cabinetmaker Preben Fabricius, who would later become his partner.

Shortly thereafter, they made the international breakthrough at the 1966 Cologne trade fair, where they exhibited a complete series of home and office furniture, developed from ten of their original designs. Their minimalist creations, at once attractive and comfortable, were generally steel and leather furniture.
