Made in Denmark by Fritz Hansen
The PK9 - also referred to as "the Tulip chair" is part of Fritz Hansen's "Poul Kjaerholm collection". Simple yet distinguished, the PK9 follows the delicacy of Kjaerholm's design style. It is suitable for any environment, from lounges and waiting areas to private homes. The PK9 is a fine choice together with a great variety of tables, but the best match is the PK54 table.
Poul Kjærholm had a particular interest in various construction materials; especially steel, which he considered a natural material. He was a trained carpenter who continued studies at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts. He moved on to work at Fritz Hansen, for about a year, where he designed a number of noteworthy chair prototypes. In 1955, Kjærholm started collaborating with manufacturer Ejvind Kold Christensen, which lasted until his 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.
The PK9 side chair has a tripod, satin-brushed stainless steel base with a nylon inner shell. The seat is covered in your choice of leathers.
