The Trix chair, designed by Karl Friedrich Förster for KFF in Germany during the 1980s, embodies a distinctive postmodernist character with clear nods to the Memphis movement. Its construction is based on an angular, open frame made of matte black metal profiles, underlining the design’s graphic and architectural intent. The seat and backrest are formed from bent plywood, showcasing a natural wood grain finished in a warm, golden honey satin sheen. Four visible screws fastening the wooden elements to the frame emphasize the chair’s functional and subtly industrial expression. The gently curved seat enhances comfort while visually softening the sharp lines of the piece. Defined edges and balanced proportions lend the chair a sense of solidity without forgoing a feeling of lightness due to the open structure. Preserved in very good condition, the piece shows no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration.This chair tells the story of a decade that embraced the boldness of experimentation and the shifting dialogue between form and function. The raw geometry of the black frame recalls the architectural discipline of the 1980s, while the satin-finished, honey-toned wood of the seat and back injects a warmer, almost domestic note. The interplay between metal and wood here becomes a dialogue between modernist dynamism and the playful treatment of material, so characteristic of postmodern design thinking. Every detail—from the exposed screws to the subtle curvature of the plywood—reflects an intentional break with the prevailing canons of the era.The Trix chair may be paired with a contemporary metal-based table or a minimalist console to highlight its graphic rhythm. It will work well both in a curated, collector’s interior and in a boldly eclectic living room, where the visual
