Fritz Hansen PK23 Lounge Chair
Manufacturer: Fritz Hansen
Designer: Poul Kjærholm
This is an original licensed Fritz Hansen piece.
Conceived by Poul Kjærholm in 1954, the PK23 existed only as sketches for decades — a chair ahead of its time, waiting for the right moment. Fritz Hansen has now brought it to production, and it sits comfortably alongside Kjærholm’s most celebrated works: low, wide, and built for unhurried conversation.
The form is immediately distinctive. Two vertically divided laminated veneer shells — one for the seat, one for the backrest — are joined by a precisely engineered connector detail in brushed zamak. It is a chair that rewards close inspection: the joinery is part of the design. The wide, reclined posture invites you to settle in rather than perch, making it as well suited to a reading corner as to a living room centrepiece.
The PK23 is available in four configurations:
- Ash Black shell / Powder coated steel base — the most graphic option, a strong monochromatic presence
- Ash Black shell / Brushed stainless steel base — cooler and more refined, with a subtle material contrast
- Oak shell / Brushed stainless steel base — natural grain and warmth, well suited to lighter interiors
- Walnut shell / Brushed stainless steel base — a deeper, richer palette, particularly striking against pale stone or plaster
The PK23 sits at an interesting point in Kjærholm’s timeline — conceived in 1954 but never produced in his lifetime, it bridges his early experimental work with the structural rigour that defined his mature output. Fritz Hansen has manufactured the Kjærholm Collection since 1982.
