The PK9 is a side chair also known as the "Tulip chair" due to its unique shape. The shape characterized by the three pieces of satin-brushed stainless steel that act as a column, a set of legs and carriers of the leather seating element. The story of the design is about Poul Kjaerholm's uncompromising quest for the perfect shape. The inspiration for the shape of the shell comes from the imprint of his wife's, Hanne Kjaerholm, behind in the sand on the beach. Later, during the design process, Hanne Kjaerholm sat in boxes of clay to find the most optimal and comfortable solution. PK9 matches the PK54 table perfectly. The PK9 chair is fully upholstered in a limited selection of leather. Tthe base is made of satin brushed stainless steel, while the inner shell is made of nylon.

Poul Kjrholm (1929-1980) 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 Kjrholm was employed at Fritz Hansen for about a year, where he designed a number of noteworthy chair prototypes. In 1955 Poul Kjrholm initiated his collaboration with manufacturer Ejvind Kold Christensen, which lasted until Poul Kjrholm"s death in 1980. In 1982, Fritz Hansen took over the production and sales of"The Kjrholm 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 Kjrholm Collection. Pieces that were never in production before, the PK8 side chair and PK58 dining table.
