The discrete and elegant PK22 lounge chair epitomizes the work of Poul Kjærholm and his search for the ideal type-form and industrial dimension, which was always present in his work. The profile of the steel frame structure originates from his graduation project, the “Element” Chair (PK25), from the School of Applied Arts in Copenhagen. With the PK22 the structure was divided into separate elements due to design improvements and for economical production. The PK22 was an immediate commercial and critical success. In 1957, the chair was awarded the Grand Prix at the Milan Biennale, the world’s premier design fair. The prize catapulted Kjærholm’s career and immediately he became a name in the international scene and has enjoyed this position ever since.
