The PK22 lounge chair , designed by Poul Kjærholm in 1955, is considered one of the most influential icons of Scandinavian modernism. In 1957, this design won the Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale , marking Kjærholm's international breakthrough.
The PK22 embodies Kjærholm's vision: maximum essence, minimal form . A slender, brushed steel frame, a floating seat, and a perfect balance between strength and lightness.
This set is special: it's an exceptional first edition , produced by E. Kold Christensen – the original manufacturer who brought Kjærholm's early masterpieces to life. Both chairs are upholstered in the original black leather, which has developed an identical, natural patina . This proves that the chairs have always remained together and today form a harmonious and characterful duo .
The PK22 is beloved worldwide and is included in the collections of top museums such as the MoMA in New York and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London . Early editions by E. Kold Christensen are rarely offered and are considered the most sought-after among connoisseurs.
Price is for the set.
A unique opportunity to acquire a museum-worthy, historically significant design piece.
