The history of the PK 24 Chaise Lounge Chair
 
The PK 24 Lounge Chair is an iconic modernist furniture design, created by the renowned Danish designer Poul Kjærholm in 1965. Characterized by its clean, minimalist silhouette and innovative use of materials, the PK 24 exemplifies Kjærholm's commitment to functional elegance and his enduring influence on the trajectory of Scandinavian design.
 
Kjærholm, who was a central figure in the Danish design renaissance of the mid-20th century, conceived the PK 24 as a refined expression of comfort and craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from the organic curves of the human body, he crafted a chair that would envelop the sitter in a warm, cosseting embrace, providing exceptional lumbar support and freedom of movement.
 
The PK 24's distinctive profile is achieved through the use of a single, continuous piece of hand-woven cane, which is then supported by a sleek, minimalist frame of stainless steel. This innovative pairing of natural and industrial materials not only lent the design a striking visual presence but also ensured exceptional durability and stability.
