Information

The PK-22 easy chairs were designed by Poul Kjærholm and produced by E. Kold Christensen in Denmark during the 1950s. These chairs embody a minimalist aesthetic, featuring a frame constructed from brushed stainless steel that supports a black leather seat and backrest. The leather upholstery is detailed with subtle geometric stitching, highlighting the meticulous craftsmanship and clean lines integral to the design. The splayed legs and cantilevered seat create a sense of lightness and a floating appearance while ensuring structural stability.

The leather shows natural patina and creasing consistent with age and use, while the steel frame presents minor surface wear typical of vintage pieces. This combination of high-quality materials and precise engineering reflects Kjærholm’s philosophy, which skillfully blends industrial materials with organic form.

Poul Kjærholm was a Danish architect and designer celebrated for his innovative integration of modern materials and traditional craftsmanship. His restrained aesthetic ensures every element serves both functional and formal purposes. Introduced in 1956, the PK-22 became one of his most iconic works, epitomizing the Scandinavian modern focus on simplicity and material quality.

Each chair measures 63 cm in width, 60 cm in depth, and 75 cm in height (24.8 x 23.6 x 29.5 inches), with a seat height of 33 cm (13 inches).
