Magazine C Issue 07 PK22

The PK22, introduced in 1956 by Danish designer Poul Kjærholm, is defined by its clarity and restraint. Each material and structural element, from the steel frame to the leather and the screws, serves a functional purpose that directly shapes the chair’s form. As a work that exemplifies Kjærholm’s philosophy of extending the precision of traditional Danish craftsmanship into a modern design language, the PK22 blends seamlessly into any setting while maintaining a subtle, distinct presence.
