F51n
Information
For the F51N armchair, her reinterpretation of the F51, Katrin Greiling shows that the surfaces and colour tones of this icon can be rethought. She presents the Gropius armchair in striking worlds of colour and texture that change perspectives and guide the eye. In this way, she gives it a new face after 100 years. To do this, she uses fabrics that the Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons designed for Kvadrat. Inspired by wool, twill and tweed, a collection was created whose textures and colour tones create the transfer to contemporary furniture.
Katrin Greiling divides the armchair into three design areas: Frame, seat and armrest upholstery. She presents the striking, geometric wooden frame in six new colours, which are implemented in high-gloss lacquer. Colour plays a major role in all her designs and so it is with the F51. She uses colour and texture to guide the eye, emphasising form and proportion.
