Designed by Poul Kjaerholm. The PK23™ was originally conceptualised by Poul Kjærholm in 1954 but remained in the form of sketches until recently. Characterised by its wide, low-profile form tailored for relaxed conversations, the chair features vertically divided laminated veneer shells for both the seat and backrest, bridged by an elegant connector detail.

The PK23™ chair's laminated veneer shells for the seat and back come in 3 varieties: black-painted ash veneer, walnut veneer or oak veneer. Combine these with a front upholstery in a wide selection of fabrics (see a full list under ‘Details’).
