From the free-spiritedness of the 1980s to an enduring formal language
Think internationally, produce locally: "Made in Germany" is not just an empty promise for us, it is our daily business. We have been working in partnership with our suppliers, dealers and employees for over 35 years - for us, sustainability also has this quality. Our designs are created in-house, but sometimes we also invite international guest designers to take us beyond the local horizon. We stand by our middle-class origins and see ourselves as being in the best neighborhood: because what the Brianza means for Italian furniture design, East Westphalia means for Germany.
Back Office Impressions
Karl-Friedrich Förster founded KFF in 1984 in Lemgo, East Westphalia, the heart of the German furniture industry. His SINUS chair became the first bestseller and is now considered a classic.
SINUS chair
Since then, we have steadily but carefully expanded our portfolio around the core competence of seating furniture. And since every chair also needs a table, we have been partners with the table manufacturer ASCO from the nearby district of Gütersloh since 2019. Since autumn 2020, we present ourselves with an extensive portfolio in the joint showroom in Rheda-Wiedenbrück. Interior designer Jens Lewe manages the business of both companies. Karl-Friedrich Förster remains associated with the company as spiritus rector to this day.
