Characterised by its wide, low-profile form tailored for relaxed conversations, the chair features vertically divided laminated veneer shells for both the seat and backrest, bridged by an elegant connector detail.

The PK23 chair represents an evolutionary stage in Kjærholm's design journey, blending elements from his earlier PK4 and PK0 models while foreshadowing the structural and minimalist style that would come to define later works.

About Poul Kjærholm

Poul Kjærholm was a trained cabinet maker and continued his studies at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen. 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 first employed at Fritz Hansen for about a year, where he designed a number of noteworthy chair prototypes. In 1955, Poul Kjærholm initiated his collaboration with manufacturer Ejvind Kold Christensen, which lasted until Kjærholm’s death in 1980.

In 1982, Fritz Hansen took over the manufacture and sales of “The Kjærholm Collection”, which was developed over the period 1951 to 1967.
