The PKL

The PKL is a minimalist lounge chair designed to fit into a modern home. The PKL takes inspiration from Eames and other designers to create a truly unique and ergonomic design.

The goal of the PKL was to build a chair with no visible hard edges in the body, only curves. To accomplish this, the PKL was built using kerf cut wood forming, bent steel tubing, and 3D printed TPU joinery.
