PK20™ EASY CHAIR
The PK20™ is a laidback and elegant easy chair, designed by Poul Kjærholm. Handcrafted in both wcker 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.
DESIGNER
POUL KJÆRHOLM
1929-1980 The man behind masterpieces like the PK22™ had a fascination for steel and a love of natural materials.
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.
Two years after the designer’s passing, the Kjærholm trustees entrusted Fritz Hansen with the production and sales of ‘The Kjærholm Collection’– designs developed by Poul Kjærholm from 1951 to 1967.
Fritz Hansen is honoured to continue production to this day and to distribute Poul Kjærholm’s furniture to architects and private customers around the world.
