Poul Kjærholm, 1968
The PK20™ is a laidback and elegant easy chair, designed by Poul Kjærholm. Handcrafted in both wicker and leather, the chair features soft leather upholstery and a reclining headrest, resting on a flexible matt chromed spring steel frame. Over the years, the PK20 has become a Poul Kjærholm classic – as well as a permanent fixture at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
A trained cabinetmaker who completed his studies at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts, Poul Kjærholm had a particular interest in construction materials; especially steel, which he considered a material deserving the artistic respect that was commonly awarded to wood.
Poul Kjærholm initiated a collaboration with furniture manufacturer Ejvind Kold Christensen in 1955, and that collaboration continued for the rest of Kjærholm’s life with the two families remaining close to this very day.
