The PK23 Lounge Chair from Fritz Hansen features a low, open silhouette with two wide, gently curved veneer shells forming the seat and back, joined by refined metal connectors. Designed by Poul Kjærholm in 1954, as a mere sketch, the piece, now fully realized, represents an early exploration of his lifelong interest in structural honesty and material integrity. It rests on a slender, strong steel base with legs that curve down. The result is a balanced design that feels grounded, thoughtful, and quietly expressive of its Danish origins.
