With
the sublime F416 armchair, which was brought onto the market by
Artifort in 1960, renowned designer Kho Liang Ie made a clear statement
that was far ahead of its time. In his voyage of discovery undertaken
within the strict social constraints of the late 1950s, he sought the
contrast between soft materials and rigid structures. This resulted in a
modular sofa that looks remarkable from any angle. Artifort is proud to
once again offer this modern masterpiece with all of its possibilities.
The minimalist frame of the F416 armchair consists of a careful balance
between brushed stainless steel and black coated metal elements,
finished with slats made from Santos rosewood. The padded seat cushion
of the 416 armchair provides maximum comfort. After reassessing the
original materials, Artifort now also offers the possibility of giving
this sublime design a contemporary touch, without detracting from its
unique elegance and style
