About the Item
This original PK22 lounge chair, designed by the celebrated architect Poul Kjaerholm and manufactured by Ejvind Kold Christensen in Denmark in 1956, is a rare and iconic masterpiece of mid-century modern design. As one of the most celebrated lounge chairs of the 20th century, the PK22 perfectly embodies Kjaerholm’s philosophy of achieving complexity through simplicity.
The chair’s design is minimalist yet refined, featuring a spring steel structure that forms its legs, crossbars, and side frames. These components are meticulously joined with machine screws, giving the chair a sleek and streamlined profile. The seat is made from chocolate brown leather, beautifully preserved in its original condition, with a rich patina that adds warmth and character. Underneath the seat and backrest, a laced canvas underlayer provides extra support, reflecting Kjaerholm’s deep understanding of both structural integrity and comfort.
Though simple in appearance, the PK22’s design is the result of Kjaerholm’s architectural precision and attention to detail. Its delicate form belies the strength and durability of its construction, showcasing the designer’s mastery of balancing form with function. The back of the leather seat is cross-stitched, a nod to the fine craftsmanship of the chair’s original production run. Additionally, the chair is stamped with the “DENMARK” mark by E. Kold Christensen, confirming its authenticity and further highlighting its significance in the history of Danish design.
In its fully original condition, this PK22 is a rare find, especially with its leather cover intact and in such exceptional shape. It is not only a testament to Kjaerholm’s timeless design vision but also a highly sought-after piece for collectors and design enthusiasts, representing a true icon of modern furniture.
