Poul Kjærholm, 1958/59
The PK31™ chair and sofa series is a prime example of Poul Kjærholm’s ability to work with exquisite materials and minimalism. In the search for the ideal form, Kjærholm created the PK31 – a fusion of elegance, luxury and comfort. The PK31 series is available as an armchair and a 2- or 3-seater sofa and features a matt chromed spring steel frame.
With its ingenious modular construction, the 3-seater PK31/3 radiates industrial strength and durability while providing perfectly proportioned comfort through its beautifully upholstered seat and backrest in leather and canvas, clearly illustrating Kjærholm’s unwavering belief in the very highest standards of craftsmanship - down to the very last stitch.
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.
