About KFF

KFF was founded in 1984 by Karl-Friedrich Förster in Lemgo, East Westphalia, and is a manufacturer of contemporary seating furniture. The portfolio includes chairs, benches, armchairs, sofas, stools, counter stools and bar stools for living, dining and high-dining areas. The designs are created by the in-house design team as well as with international guest designers. Production takes place according to customer requirements in regional manufactories ('Made in Germany'); materials include fabric, leather, moulded nonwoven, metal, solid wood and laminated wood. Since 2019, KFF has been a partner of the table manufactory ASCO from the Gütersloh district; since 2020, both companies have operated a joint showroom in Rheda-Wiedenbrück.
