POUL KJÆRHOLM,
THE MODEL PK24 â˜HAMMOCK CHAIRâ™,
Lot 12
POUL KJÆRHOLM,
THE MODEL PK24 â˜HAMMOCK CHAIRâ™,
Estimate:
THE MODEL PK24 â˜HAMMOCK CHAIRâ™, BY POUL KJÆRHOLM, for Fritz Hansen, Denmark
cane, stainless steel and leather, designed 1965, 86 x 153 x 66.5 cm, constructed 2005
The PK24 chaise longue chair, with its easy curves and organic shape, stands out as perhaps the most recognizable chair in Poul Kjærholmâ™s work. Inspiration for this chair comes from the Rococo period and the French chaise longue â" long chair â" that featured the same curve and size. With this version of the PK24 easy chair Kjærholm combined two materials, steel and wicker, which he would later be recognised for in several of his designs.
Known as the â˜Hammock Chairâ™, to stress that it functioned by suspending the body between two points, it has no physical connection between the main parts. Instead it is kept together by gravity and the friction between the elements.
