PK-22 Chair in Leather attributed to Poul Kjærholm for E. Kold Christensen, 1960s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Rare early E. Kold Christensen production "PK-22" by Poul Kjærholm in original dark brown aniline leather with an amazing deep patina. The leather and upholstery work on these early production chairs were handmade at the workshop of Ivan Schlechter. The frame is made from matt-plated steel. This example was made in the early 1960s and is marked by maker. The "PK-22" was designed in 1956 and is one of Poul Kjærholms most iconic designs. It is a simple yet sophisticated construction combining two edges of bent steel connected beneath the seat by curved steel struts and covered with layers of canvas and leather. The iconic chair won the Grand Prize at the Milan Triennale in 1957 and exemplifies Poul Kjærholm’s vision and quest for the ideal form and dimension.
