Carl Hansen & Son presents Poul Kjærholm's first chair: the PK1

The #pk1 combines the legendary furniture designer’s unique understanding of clean aesthetics and the potential of steel.

Poul Kjærholm designed the #pk1 – his first dining chair – in 1955. The light and elegant chair, now in production at Carl Hansen & Son, marked the beginning of an impressive career, serving as an outstanding example of the designer's unique ability to lend vitality to steel. The PK1’s dynamic form, the interaction between the steel and the organic flag halyard, and the chair’s accessibility, functionality and high comfort make it a perennial classic. Carl Hansen & Son is launching the #pk1 alongside new variants of Poul Kjærholm’s PK52 tables, now available with laminate tabletop options.

Carl Hansen & Son’s deep respect for the great furniture designers from the Danish Golden Age of #design naturally extends to #poulkjarholm, one of the most uncompromising furniture designers of his
generation. To honor his legacy, the 109-year-old family business now presents Kjærholm's elegant #pk1 dining chair.

"Poul Kjærholm had a penchant for steel, but he also valued organic materials – in this case, the flag halyard, which gives the light chair a welcoming feel that complements other furniture in our collection.
Kjærholm's well-thought-out #design is not only a feast for the eyes but also highly functional, pairing easily with both classic and modern tables. We are proud to have the opportunity to manufacture Kjærholm's first dining chair – a very elegant #design from the master’s hand," says Carl Hansen & Son CEO Knud Erik Hansen.
