ABOUT PRODUCTID 11728
The postmodern KFF Trix chair, designed by Karl-Friedrich Förster in Germany during the 1980s, exemplifies late twentieth-century design where expressive form meets the candid honesty of materials. Its construction is based on a geometric, open frame made from brushed stainless steel with a matte finish, evoking a sense of industrial precision. The seat and dual backrest slats are crafted from bent, lacquered plywood in a warm, honey-toned wood, with a smooth satin surface that subtly reveals the grain. The chair is defined by sharp, angular lines and a rectilinear, architectural silhouette where armrests and legs form a continuous outline. Visible screw fittings emphasize the transparency of its structure, while the contoured seat offers ergonomic comfort. The overall condition is very good, with no visible damage or signs of significant use.The Trix chair embodies an era when designers embraced experimentation with form and convention. The voice of the 1980s resonates in its bold interplay of cool steel and warm wood, and in playful proportions—two separated backrest slats suggest creative freedom, while the open construction hints at architectural influence. This piece stands as a kind of manifesto, telling the story of a decade characterized by artistic courage and the redefinition of comfort. Its presence blends both restraint and lightness, hallmarks of postmodernism, where function and form exist in deliberate dialogue and every detail commands attention.The chair may be paired with a minimalist table featuring a glass or metal top, where its geometric outline serves as a visual anchor. It will work well in interiors inspired by postmodernism, late twentieth-century modernism, or in eclectic collector spaces. Consider combining it with low metal shelving, abstract graphic art, or a sculptural lamp. The warm tone of the wood also allows the chair to stand out among neutral palettes
