Description
The PK24 chaise longue chair, designed by Poul Kjærholm in 1965 epitomizes elegance and innovation in modern furniture design. Renowned for its effortless curves and organic form, the PK24 is arguably the most iconic piece in Kjærholm’s repertoire. Drawing inspiration from the Rococo period and the classic French chaise longue – known for its distinctive curve and generous proportions – the PK24 merges historical influences with contemporary minimalism.
This chair exemplifies Kjærholm’s design philosophy of using independent elements to create functional yet aesthetically pleasing furniture. Notably, the PK24 lacks any physical connections between its main components; instead, it relies on gravity and the friction between the parts to stay assembled. This ingenious design ensures both stability and flexibility. Kjærholm affectionately dubbed the PK24 the “Hammock Chair” to highlight its unique function of suspending the body between two points, providing a sense of floating comfort.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the PK24 chaise longue remains a timeless masterpiece, seamlessly blending art and functionality.
Condition: Made by for Fritz Hansen in 2006. Small signs of wear to wicker in one place and two small discolourations on the seat.
