The Fredericia Pato Paper 4 Leg Chair has a really easy, natural feel to it that makes it stand apart from more standard plastic seating. It keeps the same clean and uncomplicated shape as the rest of the Pato collection, though the PaperShell seat gives it a warmer and more tactile character that you notice quite quickly. Made from a fossil-free, 100% bio-based cellulose composite moulded in Sweden, the shell has a soft texture and depth to it that feels more relaxed and organic in a room.

The steel frame keeps the chair feeling light and practical for everyday use, while the stackable design makes it useful across dining spaces, cafés and shared interiors. It’s available with either a black frame or chrome frame, and the finish changes the mood slightly depending on the setting. The black frame feels a little more grounded and contemporary, while the chrome version has a brighter and more classic feel. The proportions are simple and balanced, which is probably why the chair feels so easy to place in different spaces.

What’s particularly nice about the Pato Paper 4 Leg Chair is that it feels practical without becoming cold or overly functional. The shell has real warmth and texture to it, and the clean frame keeps everything looking calm and uncomplicated. It’s the sort of chair that quietly works almost anywhere without trying too hard.
