PK20™ Wicker chair

PK20™ Lounge Chair – Wicker

The PK20™ Lounge Chair by Poul Kjærholm for Fritz Hansen is a timeless fusion of elegance and innovation. Resting on a flexible matt-chromed spring steel frame, the chair is both sculptural and comfortable. Originally, Kjærholm envisioned using leftover leather strips to optimise production, but the concept was later refined to include only the finest quality materials. Available in wicker and leather, the PK20™ reflects Kjærholm’s philosophy of combining natural and industrial elements. The low-back version of the PK20™ has earned a place in the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, a testament to its enduring design significance.
