PK24 Lounge Chair, Rattan

The PK20 Cantilever Lounger, introduced in 1965 by Poul Kjærholm, features an adaptable design for varied seating angles. Known in design circles as a 'calculated lesson in form and gravity', the PK24 was Kjærholm’s inaugural adjustable lounge chair. Drawing inspiration from prior designs, including the 18th-century French Chaise lounge, Thonet’s 7500 Bentwood Rocker from the 19th century, and the 1930s Le Corbusier LC4 Chaise, the PK24 offers a seating position that can be altered using gravity, user weight, and friction from the intersecting frame rails. Widely regarded for its functional and architectural design, it features a headrest pillow balanced by leather straps and a stainless-steel bar. Kardiel's version includes an entirely authentic reproduction, crafted with premium materials such as Pure Top Grain Aniline Leather and a solid raw stainless steel frame, maintaining every detail from cross-body stitching to original dimensions for a unique, artistic piece. The design features a rattan body and genuine leather pillow made from 100% Top Grain Aniline Leather. Aniline dyeing penetrates the leather, avoiding synthetic coatings for a breathable, comfortable seating experience. The furniture includes style true to original design, brushed satin finish, and solid stainless-steel bar frame, among other authentic details. Kjærholm started as a cabinet maker and became renowned for his sleek, functional furniture, veering from traditional wood to incorporate stainless steel and leather. His collaboration with Ejvind Kold Christiansen resulted in a line of iconic designs, recognized and awarded internationally. Kardiel ensures adherence to original design integrity while making these classics accessible. Top Grain Aniline leather, making up a small percentage of the world's supply, provides a soft, robust surface. This leather undergoes deep dyeing for even color absorption, presenting an authentic leather appearance. Top Grain Aniline leather ages gracefully, making it ideal for a mid-century modern aesthetic.
