A silhouette interpretation of Poul Kjærholm’s PK0A chair, this piece captures the chair’s minimalist curves using tightly rolled strips of pages from The New Yorker.
I decided to make this piece minimalistic, leaving only the shock mounts in the classic red as they are on the current production model of the PK0A.
This three-piece extension of “I’m Not Even From New York” was created as a personal gesture of appreciation for Fritz Hansen’s hospitality. In October 2024, I had the privilege of visiting the company’s headquarters for a private tour of the acrhives. A generous invitation that left a lasting impression.
As someone who buys and sells designer furniture as a hobby, I’ve always held a deep respect for brands like Vitra and Fritz Hansen. Their legacy goes beyond aesthetics; it reflects a commitment to enduring design. The architects and designers they’ve collaborated with are not only pioneers of form and function, but also visionaries whose work—through these manufacturers—has stood the test of time. These are objects that don’t grow old; they age with dignity.
The works in this series honor that spirit. Using The New Yorker magazine as material, I continue the process of translating iconic imagery into textured form, this time drawing from the timeless elegance of Fritz Hansen’s design language. It’s a quiet tribute—not just to chairs and objects, but to the values of longevity, craft, and care.
