Fritz Hansen PK23 Lounge Chair

Manufacturer: Fritz Hansen

Designer: Poul Kjaerholm

This piece is an original licensed Fritz Hansen piece.

The PK23™ was originally conceptualised by Poul Kjærholm in 1954 but remained in the form of sketches until recently. Characterised by its wide, low-profile form tailored for relaxed conversations, the chair features vertically divided laminated veneer shells for both the seat and backrest, bridged by an elegantconnector detail. The PK23 chair represents an evolutionary stage in Kjærholm's design journey, blending elements from his earlier PK4 and PK0 models while foreshadowing the structural and minimalist style that would come to define later works.

Shell: The shell is made of pressure moulded veneer. The backrest bracket is made of pressure moulded zamak with a brushed surface finish.

Base: The base is made of 18 mm steel tubes with 4 legs and leg ferrules of black synthetic material. The base is mounted with black support spacers.
