Poul Armchair: One-Seater in Iron Suede

CAD $1,740

The PK31 One-Seater Lounge Chair was designed by Poul Kjærholm in 1958 as part of his renowned PK31 series. The series is recognized by Kjærholm’s dedication to using industrial and natural materials, and his pursuit of the ideal form. The armchair’s precise geometric form—a perfect 76cm cube—illustrates Kjærholm’s exacting quest in design. The PK31-1 chair is constructed with separate panels for the seat, back, and sides, all supported by a steel frame connected by a steel bar that varies in length, depending on the series piece. Kjærholm once remarked, “I am trying to express the very language of the materials themselves.” This philosophy is imprinted in the PK31 series, where the natural beauty of the upholstery and steel is highlighted through their contrast, precise lines, and minimalism. The PK31 series is available in various configurations, including this one-seater lounge chair, two-seater loveseat, and three-seater sofa.

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.
