PK4 lounge chair – Fritz Hansen

The result is a remarkable lightness and balance, a mixture of complexity and visual simplicity, at the frontier of art and design. It is available in three versions: brushed stainless steel with natural or black halyard, or black powder coated steel with natural halyard.

The optional seat cushion is an addition: "Halyard is a beautiful material, but we wanted to create an option to make the seat slightly more comfortable," notes Marie-Louise Høstbo, creative director at Fritz Hansen. "The thin circular cushion adds to the graphic look of PK4, and the materials used are inspired by Kjærholm's habit of working with canvas and leather. When you add an element to a historical design, it is important to show respect. With this removable cushion, the profile of the chair remains perfectly defined.

Available in natural canvas, black canvas and black Grace leather, the cushions cannot be sold separately.

Thomas Kjærholm, son of the late designer, and intimately involved in the management of the Kjærholm archive: "I think it is fair to consider PK4 as a further exploration of his studies, the result of an experimental phase during which he was full of curiosity. This chair certainly establishes a relationship with the PK25, and later with the PK22 chair.
