KFF is a German design company for seating furniture — founded in 1984 by Karl-Friedrich Förster (whose initials form the brand name) in the old railway station building in the Lemgo district of Hörstmar in Lemgo (East Westphalia), in the heart of the German furniture industry. The company first made a name for itself in 1987 with the SINUS chair at the Cologne international furniture fair — the chair became the first bestseller and is today considered a design classic. Further milestones: Texas Exclusiv armchair (2000) — also a classic with over 500,000 units sold. KFF manufactures exclusively in Germany with high-quality materials and prefers regional suppliers from Lemgo and the surrounding area. Since 2019 a partnership with table manufacturer ASCO (Gütersloh) exists. Managing director: Jens Lewe. Karl-Friedrich Förster remains associated with the company as spiritus rector.
