A good friend and brilliant designer

Friso Kramer

Wilkhahn started collaborating with Friso Kramer back in the early 1960s. Fritz Hahne, Wilkhahn’s CEO at the time, had seen the Revolt Chair, a simple but nevertheless sophisticated multipurpose chair designed for the Ahrend Group, in an architecture magazine. The meeting with the designer at a Dutch Wilkhahn dealer’s gave rise to successful joint projects and a lifelong friendship. Because of the devasting destruction in the Netherlands during the second world war, this was pretty unusual at the time because the Dutch still harboured a lot of resentment towards Germany.

The combination with the glass-fibre-reinforced plastic shell, highlights the crisp lines of the wooden frame in an appealing way. Chair by Friso Kramer for Wilkhahn. Photo: Wilkhahn
