Fredrik Kayser worked as a draftsman for Rastad & Relling during two separate periods, 1945-46 and 1952-56. In 1946, he and Adolf Relling designed the furniture classic Kaminstolen, and in 1955 the organically shaped Kryss chair. In 1956 Kayser established his own design studio and worked freelance for several furniture manufacturers. For Viken Møbelfabrikk he designed the exclusive sideboard Hertug in teak and rosewood. During the last eleven years of his life, he enjoyed a fruitful collaboration with Vatne Lenestolfabrikk. Several of his design classics, such as the armchair 807 and the laminated chairs 108 and 109, date from this period. The 711 armchair won first prize in the chair competition organized in 1960 by the national Bransjer.det for møbel og innredningsindustrien (Industry Council for Furniture and Furnishing). 711 is manufactured today by L.K. Hjelle, while 807 is manufactured by Vatne Møbler.
