Description

The elegant PK22 Chair epitomises Poul Kjaerholm's search for the ideal form and showcases the industrial dimension always present in his work. The profile of the steel frame structure originates from the PK25, his graduation project at the School of Applied Arts in Copenhagen.

On its release, the PK22 was an immediate commercial and critical success. In 1957, the chair was awarded the Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale, the world's premier design fair. The prize catapulted Kjaerholm's career onto the international scene, where his name has enjoyed a coveted position ever since.

Kjaerholm's furniture designs were characterised by a simple aesthetic that stripped away ornament in favour of clean lines and materials-based beauty. He used steel frames extensively in his work, often in combination with natural materials such as wood, cane, and leather, and was a strong proponent of industrial production.
