Trix Chair

Designed by

Karl Friedrich Förster

The Trix Chair by Karl Friedrich Förster is a striking example of postmodern furniture design that blends sculptural form with functional comfort. Version 1, created in 1981, features a bold tubular steel frame paired with a sleek upholstered seat, embodying the experimental spirit of early 1980s design with its geometric precision and industrial aesthetic. Version 2, introduced in 1986, refines the concept with softer contours and enhanced ergonomics while maintaining the chair’s distinctive structural clarity. Together, both versions illustrate Förster’s evolving exploration of balance between minimalism, material innovation, and visual impact.

His most iconic creation, the Trix Chair, exemplifies his ability to merge sculptural aesthetics with functional design.
