PK23™ Lounge Chair

Originally sketched in 1954 and realized decades later, the PK23™ Lounge Chair from Fritz Hansen feels like a quiet revelation. Designed by Poul Kjærholm, this modern lounge chair was shaped for relaxed conversation, with a wide and low profile that invites you to settle in and slow down. The seat and backrest are formed from vertically divided laminated veneer shells, creating a subtle sense of rhythm and symmetry. An elegant connector detail bridges the backrest, adding both structure and visual interest. The design references Kjærholm’s earlier experiments with form while hinting at the minimalist steel-and-wood language that would later define his most iconic work.
