The Plico Armchair perfectly exemplifies the philosophy of Danish design duo Fabricius & Kastholm, who excelled in the art of celebrating practical or functional details that other designers sought to conceal. Characterized by its visible joints, prominently displayed folding mechanism, beautiful brass trims, and a construction that is both simple and intelligent, the Plico Armchair made its debut in 1964 at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild Furniture exhibition, where it received an award.

The idea behind the chair was to create a seating solution that occupies minimal space when not in use, without compromising on comfort. "Plico" means "to fold" in Latin, and despite its lightweight appearance, the comfort is remarkable thanks to the plush upholstery and adjustable headrest.

Regarding the reissue of the Plico Armchair by Carl Hansen & Son, Thomas Kastholm, the son of Jørgen Kastholm, states, "The chair marked a turning point in my father's work and proved to be the precursor to an international career in furniture design. As a child, I played under it, on it, and over it, and I always loved it. So, I am thrilled to see the chair come to life once again."

Knud Erik Hansen, CEO of Carl Hansen & Son, concludes, "The Plico Armchair is an incredibly versatile piece of furniture—not only in its functionality as a folding lounge chair but also in its appearance. It gracefully fits into a living room, bedroom, cottage, hotel room, or foyer. It provides a comfortable and cozy seat to relax with a good book and a cup of coffee."

Materials include a solid oiled or bleached oiled oak frame, leather saddle armrests, brass detailing, linen canvas backrest and seat, and foam padding.
