Combining the dining chairs with Poul Kjaerholm's model PK54 dining table makes for an attractive pairing.
One of Poul Kjærholm's iconic creations is the dining table model PK54, which he designed for E. Kold Christensen in Denmark in 1963. The PK54 dining table is a testament to Kjærholm's mastery in working with steel and his dedication to clean aesthetics. The table features a simple yet striking design, with a sturdy stainless steel frame that supports a large Cippolino marble tabletop.
The PK54 dining table encapsulates Poul Kjærholm's design philosophy, reflecting his commitment to functionalism and his ability to elevate everyday objects into works of art. This piece remains an enduring symbol of mid-century modern design, characterized by its timeless elegance and enduring relevance.
Paired with the dining table, the PK9 chairs exemplify Kjærholm's distinctive design philosophy. Crafted with a stainless steel frame, the chairs feature a unique form that combines a geometrically shaped base with a gracefully curved backrest. The seat and backrest are upholstered in supple leather, adding a touch of luxurious comfort to the sleek steel structure.
Born in 1929 in Øster Vrå, Denmark Poul Kjaerholm studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen before embarking on an apprenticeship as a blacksmith. He would later return to the Academy as a lecturer succeeding Ole Wanscher and remain there till his death in 1980. Kjaerholm’s furniture designs, characterized by clean lines and a minimalist sensibility, embody the essence of Scandinavian design principles. Inspired by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Kjaerholm admired Mies' minimalist approach and his famous dictum "less is more." Mies van der Rohe famously declared that "steel and glass are the materials of our age," and this sentiment resonated with Kjærholm, who integrated stainless steel frames into many of his furniture designs.
Kjærholm's collaboration with his friend E. Kold Christensen, a prominent Danish manufacturer, produced his more iconic pieces like the present dining set, PK22 chair and the PK80 daybed. Poul Kjaerholm’s innovative designs earned him international acclaim and a place among the most influential designers of the era, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire contemporary designers.

Poul Kjærholm
A trained cabinetmaker, Poul Kjærholm’s use of industrial methods and materials in the 1960s brought a fresh, graceful, sleek new style to Danish modern design.
At what is now the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Kjærholm studied under Hans Wegner and Jørn Utzon — an industrial designer and the architect of the celebrated Sydney Opera House. The latter greatly influenced Kjærholm’s furniture production techniques — although he employed natural materials such as cane and leather, to a far greater extent than his peers Kjærholm embraced the use of steel (rather than wood) framing for his chairs, daybeds and tables.
Kjærholm’s signal design was the PK22 chair of 1956, a low-slung leather lounger on a steel base. The ideas introduced in the PK22 — Kjærholm’s designs were named using a numeric system devised with his manufacturer, E. Kold Christensen — were refined throughout his career, as the offerings below show: the PK11 chair of 1957, with back and armrests formed by a semicircle of ash; the capacious, richly patinated leather seat of a vintage 1961 PK9 chair; the elegant rattan swoop of the PK 24 chaise longue (1965). The chaise longue's leather headrest, held in place by a steel counterweight, best shows Kjærholm's particular gift for combining technological advancements with a respect for traditional detailing.
While respectful of the past, Poul Kjærholm's sensibility is one of optimism and expectation. His was design for those who lived with verve and élan, and confidently anticipated the future.

- PK9 Chairs by Poul Kjaerholm, Denmark, 1960sBy E. Kold Christensen, Poul KjærholmLocated in Antwerp, BEThe PK9 chair, also known as the Tulip chair, designed by Poul Kjærholm and produced by E. Kold Christensen. Its distinctive silhouette, characterized by three impeccably crafted satin-brushed stainless steel springs that serve as columns, provides not only structural support but also a visually striking aesthetic. What makes these chairs even more exceptional is the rarity of the seat in its original leather. This not only adds to their historical value, but also indicates that the materials used are of durable quality. The real inspiration for this chair came from a sand print of Kjærholms wife after a day at the beach, resulting in a design that combines aesthetics and comfort. Each chair tells a story of precise craftsmanship and thoughtful ergonomics, as Hanne Kjærholm herself was involved in the design process by sitting in clay boxes...Category
