KK43960 MIX CHAIR
Despite their light exterior, the FK10 and FK11 Plico Chairs offer supreme comfort with their soft
upholstery. Plico means ‘to fold’ in Latin, and the adjustable backrest can be completely folded, creating
a chair that takes up as little space as possible when not in use. With visible joints, beautiful brass
fittings and accomplished craftsmanship, the chairs highlight what other designers often seek to hide.
At first glance, it appears simple, but closer examination reveals a highly detailed design. The solid oak
frame and the rear legs are gently curved, giving the chair a soft rounding at the back. The armrests are
made from saddle leather attached to the rear legs, the back and seat in canvas, and the cushions are
upholstered in stitched linen canvas to provide an elegant expression.
An acclaimed
accomplishment
Kaare Klint’s KK43960 Mix Chair has earned iconic status among
collectors since its unveiling in 1930. This lounge chair is admired for
its elegant, flowing form and intricate construction concept. The design
of the Mix Chair is a culmination of a sophisticated geometric exercise.
The easy chair features a series of convex and concave curves that
repeat and mirror one another to form the main frame and armrests. By
contrast, the solid wood legs are kept square, with just the back legs
gently sloping back to support the chair’s slightly reclined profile. The
Mix Chair embodies Klint’s signature systematic design approach, using
geometry and mathematics to achieve ideal shapes, proportions, and
balance.
