Carl Hansen & Son PK1 Dining Chair in Paper Cord
Originally made with wicker, the PK1 is available today in an updated version with an FSC-certified weaved paper cord seat, which looks equally beautiful from both the front and the back. The weaving technique has been recreated by Carl Hansen & Søn in accordance with Kjærholm's original chair design; it takes a skilled craftsman 15 hours to weave the seat by hand. The combination of industrial steel and weaving paper cord exudes lightness and elegance; the PK1 is today considered a design icon because it balances aesthetics, comfort and stability beautifully.

Poul Kjaerholm
Denmark, 1929 - 1980
Poul Kjærholm 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. Poul Kjærholm was 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 Poul Kjærholm's death in 1980. In 1982, Fritz Hansen took over the production and sales of "The Kjærholm Collection", developed from 1951 to 1967, designs, which are logical to the minute detail with an aura of exclusivity.
In 2007 Fritz Hansen added two new pieces to the Kjærholm Collection. Pieces that were never in production before, the PK8™ side chair and PK58™ dining table.
In 1908, Carl Hansen founded Carl Hansen & Son. His mission? Passionate craftsmanship. The company thrives on the belief that exceptional craftsmanship and rational serial production can coexist, offering customers high-quality furniture at a reasonable price. Today, the brand remains committed to this principle.
Seamlessly integrating traditional woodworking techniques with cutting-edge technology, Carl Hansen & Son blends the best of the past and the present with long-lasting tables, seating, shelving, and more. Faithful to its inception, all designs are a testament to its commitment to quality and timeless design.
