Yes its 100% authentic, licensed design. No replicas, no compromises.
The PK9’s unique shape is characterised by three pieces of satin-brushed stainless spring steel that act as a column, carrying the sumptuous, soft leather seating element. Poul Kjærholm was inspired by a sand imprint of his wife’s behind from a day at the beach.
Poul Kjaerholm was a trained carpenter and continued his studies at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts. 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. He was employed at Fritz Hansen for about a year, where he designed a number of note-worthy furniture pieces - "The Kjærholm Collection", developed from 1951 to 1967 these designs have an aura of exclusivity.
