Poul Series: Lounge Chair Hide

CAD $1,760

The Poul Lounge Chair was originally designed by Poul Kjærholm in 1955 as the PK20. Conceived as a lounge chair that could sustainably repurpose leftover leather strips from other furniture production, the Poul Lounge Chair is recognized by its unique cantilevered spring steel structure and its sewn leather high back and curved seat

Steel was a material of choice that underscores Kjærholm’s fascination with its structural and light-refracting qualities. Kjærholm stated, “I am very interested in the interaction between light and materials, and the way light affects materials is a crucial part of my design process.” The Poul Lounge chair’s blend of industrial and natural materials reveals the inherent beauty of each.

Shown in Rustic Natural Leather on Polished Chrome Steel Base.

The Archetype Forms Poul Series: Lounge Chair Hide is a faithful reproduction of the original Poul Kjærholm PK20 Lounge Chair in Leather.

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.
