    JORGEN KASTHOLM (Denmark, 1931–2007) and PREBEN FABRICIUS (Denmark, 1931–1984) for Kill international. “Grasshopper” chaise longue, model FK-87, designed in 1967. Chrome-plated steel, canvas fabric, loose cushions, and neck cushions upholstered in cognac-colored leather. Armrests with leather lacing. Patina and signs of use. Measurements: 83 x 150 x 73 cm. The FK 87 Grasshopper Chaise Longue, designed by Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm in the 1960s, is one of the most iconic pieces of Scandinavian design due to its elegant combination of minimalism and comfort. Its chrome-plated tubular steel frame supports a seat made of taut canvas, upon which rest a large cushion and a headrest—typically upholstered in leather—while the armrests are finished with braided leather cord. The visual lightness of its silhouette, inspired by the shape of a grasshopper—hence its name— and the balance between technical precision and the quality of the materials have made it an icon of 20th-century modern furniture, highly prized both in its original versions produced by Alfred Kill International and in the current reissues by Kill international. Danish architect and designer Jørgen Kastholm began his training as a blacksmith but soon left that trade to devote himself to furniture design. He attended the Copenhagen School of Interior Design, where he studied under Finn Juhl. It was there that he met cabinetmaker Preben Fabricius, who would later become his partner. The two shared a common vision of furniture design, rooted in minimalism and quality and inspired by the works of Charles Eames and Mies van der Rohe. Their quest was to achieve an ideal that, through its simplicity, would be timeless. In 1961, they established a studio together in Gentofte, and four years later they presented their first designs at the Fredericia Furniture Fair, where they caught the attention of German furniture manufacturer Alfred Kill. Kill offered them a lucrative contract that allowed them to work with complete freedom, so Kastholm and Fabricius moved to Stuttgart with their first designs to begin production at Kill’s factory. Shortly thereafter, they made their international breakthrough at the 1966 Cologne Fair, where they showcased a complete series of home and office furniture developed from ten of their original designs. Their minimalist creations—both attractive and comfortable—were generally made of steel and leather. The two designers worked together from 1961 to 1968, a seven-year period during which they produced numerous designs now considered classics, such as the Tulip Chair FK 6725, the Grasshopper FK 87, and the Scimitar. During this period, their furniture was also featured in major international exhibitions held at such prominent venues 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 Brasília, the Design Center in Stuttgart, the Haus Industriform in Essen, the Neue Sammlung in Munich, the Bayer State Painting Collection in Munich, the Kunstindustrimuseum in Berlin, the Kunststoffmuseum 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. Measurements: 220 x 110, height 70,5 cm. The collaboration between Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm was a true creative symbiosis in which they worked completely together, designing side by side until individual authorship was diluted and common solutions were reached through dialogue and continuous adjustment; their success was based on the complementarity of their backgrounds - Fabricius as cabinetmaker and Kastholm as blacksmith - which allowed them to combine wood and metal with great balance, always under the same minimalist, functional and timeless design philosophy where form follows function, achieving in a few years (mainly between 1961 and 1968) a coherent and highly influential production that is still today considered iconic within modern Danish design. The table in tender is characterized by a very architectural, minimalist and visually light design, where a rectangular top seems to "float" on a very thin chromed steel structure; it incorporates a suspended side module with drawers (on the left) and a cross bar that reinforces the structure, creating a balance between functionality and formal purity, and playing with small spaces between the elements to accentuate that feeling of lightness, all within the typical language of the duo: clean lines, industrial materials and an elegant and rational aesthetic typical of modern Danish design.

Produced by Kill International. Measurements: 220 x 110, height 70,5 cm. The collaboration between Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm was a true creative symbiosis in which they worked completely together, designing side by side until individual authorship was diluted and common solutions were reached through dialogue and continuous adjustment; their success was based on the complementarity of their backgrounds - Fabricius as cabinetmaker and Kastholm as blacksmith - which allowed them to combine wood and metal with great balance, always under the same minimalist, functional and timeless design philosophy where form follows function, achieving in a few years (mainly between 1961 and 1968) a coherent and highly influential production that is still today considered iconic within modern Danish design. The table in tender is characterized by a very architectural, minimalist and visually light design, where a rectangular top seems to "float" on a very thin chromed steel structure; it incorporates a suspended side module with drawers (on the left) and a cross bar that reinforces the structure, creating a balance between functionality and formal purity, and playing with small spaces between the elements to accentuate that feeling of lightness, all within the typical language of the duo: clean lines, industrial materials and an elegant and rational aesthetic typical of modern Danish design.

The two creators 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. Also during this period, their furniture was part of important international exhibitions, held in such prominent centers as the MOMA in New York (1967) or 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.

    PREBEN FABRICIUS (Denmark, 1931 - 1984) for Walter Knoll. "Conversation chair", model 710. Designed in 1972. Dark chromed steel frame, loose cushions upholstered in black leather. Armrests with leather details. Interior upholstery with logo. Small signs of wear and patina. Produced by Walter Knoll, with manufacturer's labels. Measurements: 74 x 78 x 74 cm. Seat height 40 cm. 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 armrest and supporting structure frame the sliding seat. The result is lightness and simplicity. Whether as a soloist or as a set, it was made for lounges, foyers and living rooms. 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. 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 Federicia 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.

Produced by Kill International. Measurements: 220 x 110, height 70,5 cm. The collaboration between Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm was a true creative symbiosis in which they worked completely together, designing side by side until individual authorship was diluted and common solutions were reached through dialogue and continuous adjustment; their success was based on the complementarity of their backgrounds - Fabricius as cabinetmaker and Kastholm as blacksmith - which allowed them to combine wood and metal with great balance, always under the same minimalist, functional and timeless design philosophy where form follows function, achieving in a few years (mainly between 1961 and 1968) a coherent and highly influential production that is still today considered iconic within modern Danish design. The table in tender is characterized by a very architectural, minimalist and visually light design, where a rectangular top seems to "float" on a very thin chromed steel structure; it incorporates a suspended side module with drawers (on the left) and a cross bar that reinforces the structure, creating a balance between functionality and formal purity, and playing with small spaces between the elements to accentuate that feeling of lightness, all within the typical language of the duo: clean lines, industrial materials and an elegant and rational aesthetic typical of modern Danish design.

In 1961 they set up a studio together in Gentofte, and four years later they presented their first designs at the Federicia 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 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. The two creators worked together between 1961 and 1968, a seven-year period in which they produced numerous designs now considered classics, such as the Tulip Chair FK 6725, the Grasshopper FK 87 and the Scimitar. Also during this period, their furniture was part of important international exhibitions, held in such prominent centers as the MOMA in New York (1967) or 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.
