Description

PK9 was born as the maximum expression of ergonomics. The initial mold is based on the imprint left by Hanne Kjærholm, Poul's wife, after sitting in the sand during a day at the beach. Subsequently, Hanne again lent her figure to sit on clay boxes, for a more precise study of the curves of the seat.

The Kjærholm Collection is the result of an important legacy entrusted to Fritz Hansen by the administrators of Kjærholm two years after renowned designer passed away. The collection contains a selection of models developed from 1951 to 1980, and aims to keep the artist's flame alive, so that his creative genius remains for future generations.

Fritz Hansen has been an important name in furniture manufacturing worldwide for more than 150 years. By collaborating with visionary artists he gives life to innovative designs that represent the undisputed hallmark of Danish style.
