PK24 designed by Poul Kjaerholm for E. Kold Christensen, 1965

The PK24 quickly became a symbol of Danish design and is today a sought-after object for collectors and design enthusiasts. Original examples from the first production period by E. Kold Christensen are rare and highly prized.

Often referred to as the “hammock chair,” this design is emblematic of Kjærholm’s minimalist and refined approach to modernist furniture design.

The PK24 stands out with its fluid, inviting shape and ingenious use of materials. The curved steel frame, which supports the elegant seat, reflects Kjærholm’s penchant for combining industrial precision with natural elements. The seat itself is made of woven wicker, which adds a warm, organic texture to the cool steel. The design is completed by a leather headrest.

Kjærholm was a pioneer in the use of steel in furniture design, a material he considered timeless and intrinsically beautiful. At the same time, he succeeded in softening the starkness of metal by combining it with natural materials such as wicker and leather. The collaboration with E. Kold Christensen, a manufacturer known for its uncompromising craftsmanship.

It is a lasting reminder of Poul Kjærholm's genius and his ability to blur the boundaries between art, architecture and design. The PK24 remains a timeless masterpiece that seamlessly combines elegance and modernity.

The PK24 is in beautiful, excellent condition considering its age. An extremely rare item that only rarely appears on the market.
