The design reflects Franck's characteristic approach to functionalism, in which form was reduced to its essential elements while remaining practical and visually expressive. KF1 was also among Franck's works exhibited at the 1957 Milan Triennale, where he was awarded the Grand Prix. The original KF1 was produced from 1958 to 1962. The model was revived in 1990–1991 as part of Arabia's Pro Arte production, and later returned to production from 2005 to 2017. During this final period, the piece was presented under the name Lokerovati, while KF1 remained the model designation. The three production periods therefore refer to the same Kaj Franck design, rather than to three different models. Today, KF1 is especially interesting as a design that was produced in distinct periods while retaining its original form. The later Lokerovati designation can therefore be understood as part of the model's production history, making the piece particularly interesting to collectors tracing the evolution of Franck's design across different eras.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arabia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48645526192457,"sku":"842804","price":310.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/1803\/8601\/files\/42804TV2.jpg?v=1698875151","url":"https:\/\/www.royalsio2.com\/products\/serving-platter-kf1-pro-arte-kaj-franck-arabia","provider":"Royal SiO2","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
