Fritz Hansen PK8 Chair

The Fritz Hansen PK8 chair, sedigned by Poul Kjaerholm, comes with a black or white shell front upholstered in a select range of leather types. The three-legged base is made of anodised satin brushed aluminium, while the shell is made of nylon. 
For many years, the PK8™ existed only as a prototype in the home of Hanne Kjærholm, the wife of Poul Kjærholm. The PK8 was put into production in close collaboration with Hanne Kjærholm and introduced to the public in connection with the 2007 exhibition about Poul Kjærholm, 'The Furniture Architect', at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, north of Copenhagen. The special form of the chair, with its compositionof sinuous curves, resembles Kjærholm’s cantilevered chair from 1953, but the three legs, whose shape compliments the seating element, give the chair an outstanding appearance of its own.
