A refined expression of Scandinavian modernism, the FK 6726 “Tulip” chair was designed by Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm in the 1960s, an era in which Danish design achieved global recognition for its balance of architectural rigor and material sophistication.
The chair is defined by its sculptural leather shell, gently curved to support the body while maintaining a striking visual lightness. Its fluid armrests extend seamlessly from the seat, forming a continuous and inviting silhouette. Upholstered in black leather, the piece conveys understated luxury while emphasizing comfort.
Resting on a distinctive three-star aluminum swivel base, the chair introduces a subtle industrial contrast that enhances its architectural clarity. The result is a design that feels both disciplined and expressive, equally suited for a curated interior, executive setting, or as a collectible statement piece.
Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm, both trained as architects, approached furniture with a structural mindset, creating objects that were precise, timeless, and uncompromising in quality. Their work is often associated with a quiet grandiosity, where elegance emerges from proportion and restraint rather than ornament. Today, their designs remain highly regarded among collectors of Scandinavian modern furniture.
The chair is in very good vintage condition, showing light signs of wear consistent with age and authenticity. It retains the original manufacturer’s tag on the underside, further supporting its provenance.
