The Fredericia Pato Sledge Armchair has a really relaxed, easy feel to it that makes it work naturally in all sorts of spaces, from cafés and meeting rooms through to dining areas at home. The armrests give the chair a slightly more comfortable and supportive feel, while the clean polypropylene shell keeps the overall look light and uncomplicated. It’s simple in the best way, and the proportions feel very natural once you see it in a room.

The seat is made from 100% recycled polypropylene and paired with a stackable sledge base that keeps the chair practical and easy to move around day to day. This version comes with either a black polypropylene seat and chrome legs or a black seat with black legs, and each finish changes the overall mood slightly. The chrome frame feels lighter and a little more classic, while the black frame gives the chair a calmer, more contemporary look. Both keep the design visually light and easy to place in different interiors.

What’s particularly nice about the Pato Sledge Armchair is that it manages to feel practical without becoming cold or overly functional. The curved shell feels comfortable and supportive, and the lightweight frame helps the chair settle into a space without taking it over visually. It’s the sort of design that just quietly works wherever you put it.
