Tables And Chairs Collection Kjaerholm / Fritz Hansen

Fritz Hansen has extended their Poul Kjærholm collection with a selection of additional design features to enhance the already successful designs.

Poul Kjærholm‟s designs were inspired by nature. Kjærholm‟s ultimate aim was to create designs that would appear as timeless and natural as the leaves on a tree, yet reflect the function of the object.

The popular PK8 three legged chair, recently introduced by Fritz Hansen in September 2007, previously only ever existed as a prototype from1978. The design has taken a natural step in its development to include upholstering on the front of the chair. The up-holstering is available in a range of grey as well as black and brown.

Fritz Hansen and Hanne Kjærholm, Poul Kjærholm‟s wife, worked closely together to find a colour range that would reflect Poul Kjærholm‟s style and compliment the PK8 chairs, available in black, white, red and grey.

The fabric selected to upholster the PK8, Divina, was chosen especially because of its non-weave appearance, an important design feature for Poul Kjærholm. Kjærholm in-sisted that textiles used for upholstering should be “non directional” in order to not inter-fere with the design.

Together the PK8 chair and the PK58 table, also introduced in Fritz Hansen‟s autumn winter collection 2007, is an interesting alternative to the traditional dinning experience. The design, based on the PK54 table has an aluminium frame with a table top in com-posite and bevelled edges which are typically Kjærholm. The material is extremely sturdy and the smooth surface makes it easy to maintain.

The PK22 lounge chair, another popular design from the Poul Kjærholm collection, is now also available in black soft suede. The black granite PK61 (as a supplement to glass, marble and slate) is the perfect combination with the lounge chair. The table is also available in a bigger version 120 x 120cm known as PK61A.
