PK22 Armchair

Price € 4.198,00
The PK22 armchair by Fritz Hansen is probably the most famous creation of the renowned designer Poul Kjaerholm, one of the great masters of Scandinavian modernism. After his studies as a cabinetmaker, Kjaerholm became passionate about the use of more modern materials such as steel, in the wake of the tradition of the great Bauhuas masters of the 1930s such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (of whose Barcelona armchair the PK22 can be considered one more minute and delicate reworking, less luxurious and more human: more typically Scandinavian, in a nutshell). In its PK22 the slim seat does not use cushions or padding, basing its comfort only on the tension of the upholstery, and is connected to the two widely spread metal legs only through small and ingenious joints. The seat, particularly lowered, is available both with leather fabric upholstery and in a version in woven cane, with an even more Nordic and natural look.

Designed by
Poul Kjaerholm
Poul Kjærholm (1929-1980) was one of the most prominent names in the history of Danish design. His style, which he strictly adhered to throughout his career, envisaged blending the inspiration of the great masters of Modernism of the 1930s such as Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe with the delicate craftsmanship typical of design. He was among the first Danish designers to extensively use tubular steel in the design of the base of his chairs and armchairs, often coupled with the choice of warm and natural materials such as leather or wicker for the seat. He studied as a cabinetmaker at the Copenhagen School of Applied Arts, where he was one of the favorite pupils of the great architect Jørn Utzon. During his lifetime he was always loyal to the company of his friend Ejvind Kold Christensen, who exclusively produced all of his furnishings. Among the most important awards he has won are two Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale (1957, 1960) and a Lunning Prize (1958). Shortly after his death, E. Kold Christensen was taken over by the greatest Fritz Hansen, who still has some of his most iconic products in Kjærholm's collections. Some of his creations have also been re-edited over the years by Carl Hansen & Søn and PP Møbler.Read more
