Fritz Hansen PK20 Chair, 1968

PK20 chair by Poul Kjaerholm for Fritz Hansen.

The classic PK20 designed by Poul Kjaerholm in 1968, is a laid-back and elegant lounge chair built upon a flexible spring steel frame.

The original idea for the chair was to use the excess leather strips from the production of other leather furniture to optimise production. The idea was however rejected because the leather strips were too different, and currently, it is only the finest leather strips that are used. The PK20 is part of the permanent collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
