PK26 is a wall-mounted sofa designed by Poul Kjærholm, one of the more architecturally conceived pieces in the entire Kjærholm collection. Constructed in flat steel with a leather-covered back and seat, the sofa appears to float away from the wall — a quality of apparent weightlessness that is achieved through the precision of the steel frame and its integration with the wall mounting system. The result is a piece that is as much an architectural intervention as a piece of furniture.
The PK26's wall-mounted configuration makes it a fundamentally spatial design — one that requires careful consideration of its relationship to the wall surface, floor, and surrounding space during the specification process. Viewed from the side, the sofa's profile is clean and resolved; from the front, the floating quality is dominant. The leather upholstery provides material warmth that balances the cool precision of the steel construction.
The PK26 is well suited to residential spaces where a distinctive, architecturally considered seating element is the brief, and to high-specification commercial, hospitality, and cultural environments where furniture design and spatial design are understood as inseparable. It is among the more unusual and demanding pieces in the Fritz Hansen catalogue from a specification perspective.
