One of Kjærholm's first chair designs, the PKO chair, was originally inspired by the lightness of ancient Greek klismos chairs. This lightness continued to be a focus of his designs as the PK series evolved. In 1982, Fritz Hansen took over the production and sales of The Kjærholm Collection, developed from 1951 to 1967 designs. Newly manufactured chairs are licensed exclusively by Fritz Hansen and can be found at modern furniture retailers.
I love how this chair combines the simplicity and clean lines of Scandinavian design with the casual ease that would come with beach house furniture in California. If you are looking for mid century furniture that doesn't quite grab for attention as much as other icons might, consider Poul Kjærholm.
