PK25™ Lounge Chair
The PK25™ Lounge Chair was designed by Poul Kjærholm in 1951 for his final graduation project at the School of Applied Arts in Copenhagen. The PK25™, also known as the “Element” chair, is a fine example of the young Kjærholm’s eagerness to work with common, industrial materials. Kjærholm was determined to reduce the chair to a single piece of each material, resulting in the overarching hallmark of the chair. The continuous and rather complex steel frame is bent in a single piece without joints and connections.

Details
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.
Since its founding in Denmark in 1872, Fritz Hansen's philosophy is that a single piece of furniture has the power to enhance an entire room, uplifting internationally recognized modern designers at every stage of their evolution.
