50 years of FK

Design icon, movie star, the Walter Knoll classic: FK turns 50. Designed by Danish interior architects Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm in 1967 ( the name was derived from their surnames), the FK bucket chair with its striking curved contours has had a remarkable career: from Herrenberg to Hollywood (Meryl Streep sits in an FK in “The Devil Wears Prada”), from the very first prize for “Good Design” awarded by the German Design Council in 1969 to a design icon that can be found in executive offices and living rooms, conference rooms and hotel lounges around the world.
