Enter the legend of design with this re-edition of a timeless and mythical piece: the famous PK22 Lounge armchair.
Poul Kjærholm (1929 - 1980) is one of the most important exponents of Danish design. Exhibited in museums around the world, Kjærholm's furniture is characterized by a simple aesthetic: the designer prefers clean lines and the beauty of materials to ornamentation. His many awards include the Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale (in 1957 and 1960), and the Lunning Award (1958).
Designed in 1956 and awarded the Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale in 1957, the PK22 Lounge armchair is one of the icons of Scandinavian modernist design. The flagship creation of designer Poul Kjerholm, PK 22 made a name for itself thanks to its immediate commercial success and the recognition of design professionals. Its prestige has not waned since.
PK22 is slender, minimalist and elegant. The elegant discretion of this lounge armchair sums up and crowns the work of Poul Kjærholm, guided by the constant search for the ideal form in an industrial production context. The metal profile and structure originate from his graduation project at the Copenhagen School of Applied Arts, the "Element" chair (PK25). In PK22, the structure has been divided into two elements to adapt its manufacture to the production tools available. A great delicacy and incomparable quality of finish!
The PK22 Lounge armchair is light and at the same time extremely robust. PK22 is a chair that has been handed down from generation to generation: a way of being immortal... The timeless design of PK22 continues to stand the test of time. Today, it remains a fundamentally modern chair for design enthusiasts. Its vintage look will always create a sensation!
The PK22 Lounge armchair is available in rattan cane, or fully upholstered in Leather. The base is in Brushed stainless steel.
