fk coffee table

Design Jorgen Kastholm & Preben Fabricius, 1973
Chrome-plated steel, glass top
Made in Denmark by Lange Production

The FK 89/90/91 Coffee Tables were designed by Preben Fabricius & Jørgen Kastholm in 1965 and original produced by Kill International in Germany. Although the two designers have individually created some interesting pieces, it is in pair that they have achieved their greatest success. During the eight years of partnership they managed to create a wide selection of very high quality designs. The results were often minimalistic and functional designs in steel, glass and leather. Since 2006, Lange Production has had the exclusive rights to manufacture a variety of Fabricius & Kastholm's design collection. The furniture is produced at the original factory, and with the original tools as it was back in the 1960s.

A light yet elegant structure, the FK coffee tables were designed in 1973 by Fabricius & Kastholm. The base features chrome-plated steel and is offered with a .75" glass top. The table is available in your choice of sizes.

Kastholm & Fabricius

Trained cabinet-maker Preben Fabricius met blacksmith Jorgen Kastholm at the School for Interior Design and found a common approach to furniture design - never wanting to compromise on aesthetics. In 1961, the pair set up a design studio in a Gentofte cellar without any firm arrangements with manufacturers, but by ‘65 they had secured a lucrative deal with German furniture manufacturer Alfred Kill. The next year, their international breakthrough came at the Cologne Fair with a whole series of office and home furniture, leading to orders from ten large furniture concerns. Among their most successful works were the Tulip Chair, Grasshopper Chair, and Scimitar Chair, which highlighted their style of minimalist designs, both attractive and comfortable, usually in steel and leather. The pieces of furniture they produced during their seven-year period of cooperation from 1961 to 1968 were so distinctive that many are still produced today as classics.
Henrik Lange of Lange Production has had a keen interest in modern furniture since boyhood. As a 31 year old businessman at a crossroads in his life, he decided to get the reproduction rights for the rare Fabricius & Kastholm Grasshopper chair from the 1960s, a long-time obsession of his. On Kastholm's end of the deal, he wanted Lange to reintroduce the entire line and meet their original standards of quality. To do this, Lange worked from the original warehouse with the original tools. Lange Production's re-launch was met with glowing reviews. On getting his company off the ground, Lange says, "I didn't see it as 'taking a risk.' Not doing what makes you happy everyday is a risk. People should spend more time on their passions. All great companies are built on passion."
