Folding Stool PK91 by Poul Kjaerholm - Fritz Hansen Edition Leather

PK91 Folding Stool by Poul Kjaerholm - Fritz Hansen Edition Leather. An exceptional piece for collectors and lovers of Scandinavian design. We offer for sale an authentic PK91 folding stool, an absolute icon of modernist design created by the renowned Danish designer Poul Kjaerholm and published by the prestigious house of Fritz Hansen. A major work of 20th-century design Originally created in 1961, the PK91 model is a direct homage to Kjaerholm's mentor, Kaare Klint, who himself reinterpreted folding seats from ancient Egypt. This stool perfectly embodies Poul Kjaerholm's philosophy: absolute minimalism, purity of lines, and uncompromising standards in material selection. Unlike the majority of his Scandinavian contemporaries who favoured wood, Kjaerholm regarded steel as a noble material, deserving of the same artistic and craftsmanship respect. Manufacturing quality and materials This contemporary edition signed by Fritz Hansen strictly adheres to the original manufacturing requirements. The base is made of brushed stainless steel. It features the major technical and aesthetic characteristic of this work: a 90-degree twist of the steel ribbon at the central axis (often referred to as a "spiral leg"), allowing the structure to rest perfectly flat on the ground while offering unparalleled stability and visual lightness. The seat is upholstered in exceptionally thick and robust saddle leather, highlighted by rigorous topstitching. The tension of the leather on the metal structure provides remarkable seating comfort while maintaining a taut and architectural line. Authenticity guaranteed The authenticity of this piece is irrefutable. The steel structure bears a serial number engraved in the mass (5281710AGJC), a traceability measure implemented by Fritz Hansen on its modern editions to guarantee origin and authenticity.
