PK91, Poul Kjærholm, 1961
The PK91™ folding stool designed by Poul Kjærholm epitomizes his
ongoing adaption of historical furniture categories into his oeuvre and
arsenal of expressions. The source of inspiration for the PK91 is an
ancient Egyptian folding stool that dates back to ca. 1500 BC. The
designer’s method of refining historical furniture types has again been
put into play and the result is unmistakably a Kjærholm classic, with
the stool’s minimalistic and elegant expression. The PK91 is part of
the permanent collection at the Röhsska Museum in Gothenborg, in Sweden.
The PK91™ is available in natural or black canvas or a limited range of leathers. The folding stool is made of satin brushed stainless steel.
59 x 45 x 41 cm.

Designer furniture by Poul Kjærholm at lachair.com
Poul Kjærholm was a trained carpenter and continued his studies at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts. He had a particular interest in different construction materials; especially steel which he considered a natural material with the same artistic fineness as other natural materials. Poul Kjærholm was employed at Fritz Hansen for about a year, where he designed a number of noteworthy chair prototypes. In 1955 Poul Kjærholm initiated his collaboration with manufacturer Ejvind Kold Christensen, which lasted until Poul Kjærholm's death in 1980. In 1982, Fritz Hansen took over the production and sales of "The Kjærholm Collection", developed from 1951 to 1967, designs, which are logical to the minute detail with an aura of exclusivity. In 2007 Fritz Hansen added two new pieces to the Kjærholm Collection. Pieces that were never in production before, the PK8™ side chair and PK58™ dining table.
