The PK24 lounge chair is an elegant example from Fritz Hansen’s “Poul Kjaerholm” collection. The slow slope of the chair consists of a stainless steel frame and natural wicker seat and back rest (also available in all leather). This 1965 lounge chair holds an adjustable headrest made of leather with a counterweight in steel. The chair has no physical connection between the main parts, which are kept together solely by gravity and friction between the steel. The chair inspired by the Rococo period and the French chaise longue that also featured the same curve and size. The simplicity and elegance of the PK24 chaise stands as an icon for Poul Kjaerholm’s work.
