Poul Kjærholm PK 24 Chaise Lounge with Wicker Seat for Fritz Hansen
Poul Kjærholm PK 24 Chaise Lounge with Wicker Seat for Fritz Hansen
The PK24 chaise lounge chair, with its easy curves and organic shape, stands out as perhaps the most recognizable chair in Poul Kjaerholm's work. The chair is a prime and almost extreme example of Kjaerholm's principle of designing with independent elements. Consequently, the chair has no physical connection between the main parts, which are instead kept together by gravity and the friction between the elements. Kjaerholm also labelled the PK24 the "Hammock Chair" to stress that the chair functioned by suspending the body between two points. This chaise was made in 1995 by Fritz Hansen.
