FK 87 Grasshopper – Black Edition
Fabricius & Kastholm, 1965
Originally designed in 1965 by Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm, the FK 87 Grasshopper – Black Edition brings a bold, contemporary edge to an enduring design classic. First produced by Kill International in Germany, this chaise longue remains a timeless expression of Scandinavian minimalism — elegant, functional, and uncompromising in quality.
Fabricius and Kastholm’s partnership defined an era of design distinguished by refined simplicity and architectural precision. Working together for eight years, they created a collection of exceptional pieces in steel, glass, and leather, characterized by a perfect balance of form and function.
Since 2006, Lange Production has held the exclusive rights to reproduce a range of the duo’s original designs. Each piece is manufactured at the original factory, using the same tools and techniques from the 1960s — preserving the integrity, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty of the originals.

Fabricius & Kastholm
The two Danish designers, Preben Juhl Fabricius (1931–1984) and Jørgen Kastholm (1931–2007), first met at the School of Interior Design, where they both studied during the 1950s.
 It was only after each had gained professional experience abroad that they reunited in 1960, discovering a shared design philosophy centered on Perfection, Aesthetics, and Minimization.
In 1961, they decided to join forces and founded their own architectural studio. Fabricius, trained as a cabinetmaker, combined his craftsmanship with Kastholm’s background as a blacksmith—making steel the natural and defining material in their work.
Although both designers created remarkable pieces individually, their greatest achievements came from their collaboration. Over eight years of partnership, they developed an extensive range of high-quality designs characterized by minimalism and functionality, often using steel, glass, and leather.
Since 2006, Lange Production has held the exclusive rights to manufacture a selection of Fabricius & Kastholm’s designs. The furniture continues to be produced at the original factory, using the same tools and methods as in the 1960s. This production is carried out in close collaboration with Jørgen Kastholm, ensuring the authenticity and exceptional quality of these timeless classics.
