CAD $1,560

The PK22 Easy Chair by Poul Kjærholm was designed in 1956. The PK22 gained international acclaim after winning the Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale in 1957. This prestigious award catapulted Kjærholm’s career and established him as a prominent figure in the design world. This iconic chair utilizes Kjærholm’s minimalist design ethos and innovative use of industrial materials—his signature choice, bent steel. This PK22’s design is recognized by its precise, tight leather upholstery, slightly inclined backrest, and steel frame. The use of leather and steel was a hallmark of Kjærholm’s work, as he believed that “the contrast between materials can create a dialogue that enhances the beauty of both.” The PK22 Easy Chair is available in leather, suede, wicker and canvas.

Designer

Poul Kjærholm

Poul Kjærholm (1929-1980) was a Danish furniture designer who revolutionized modern design with his precise craftsmanship and innovative material combinations. Beginning his career at just 19, Kjærholm quickly established himself through his rigorous attention to structural clarity and material integrity. His work seamlessly blended steel—his preferred material—with leather, cane, and rope, creating pieces that were industrial and organic. His approach is personified in designs like the PK22 chair, PK31 modular system, and the sculptural PK9 Tulip chair. Kjærholm's exacting standards and minimalist aesthetic have had a lasting influence on Danish and global furniture design.
