The PK22™ Lounge Chair is the epitome of Scandanavian design, conceived by the iconic Poul Kjaerholm it had an immediate commercial and critical success. A simple steel structure of two parts, the PK22 was created through Kjaerholm's search for the ideal form.
Poul Kjaerholm was a trained carpenter and continued his studies at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts. He had a particular interest in different construction materials; especially steel which he considered a natural material with the same artistic fineness as other natural materials. He was employed at Fritz Hansen for about a year, where he designed a number of note-worthy furniture pieces - "The Kjærholm Collection", developed from 1951 to 1967 these designs have an aura of exclusivity.
