The PK24™ chaise longue chair, with its easy curves and organic shape,
stands out as perhaps the most recognizable chair in Poul Kjærholm’s
work. Inspiration for this chair comes from the Rococo period and the
French chaise longue – long chair – that featured the same curve and
size. The chair is a prime and almost extreme example of Kjærholm’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.
Kjærholm also labelled the PK24 the “Hammock Chair” to stress that the
chair functioned by suspending the body between two points.
The PK24™ is available in wicker or fully upholstered in a limited range of leathers. Both versions include a leather headrest. The base is made of satin brushed stainless steel.

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.
