FK11 Plico Chair Low Back by Carl Hansen & Søn
With its visible joints, beautiful brass fittings and accomplished craftsmanship, the Plico Chair beautifully highlights what other designers often seek to hide. Plico means ‘to fold’ in Latin and, despite its light exterior, the chair offers supreme comfort by virtue of its soft upholstery and features an adjustable backrest.
The chair is foldable with loose, reversible cushions. It was first presented in 1964 when it won the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Furniture Prize for its outstanding craftsmanship and expression.
FK10 Plico Chair High Back also available.
