A typical Poul Kjærholm design - with the combination of steel and wicker or leather - in an exclusive and minimalist design, epitomizing Kjærholm's search for the ideal type-form and industrial dimension. The profile of the steel frame structure originates from his graduation project (the Element Chair) from the School of Applied Arts in Copenhagen.
In 1957 the chair was awarded the Grand Prix at Milan Triennale, the world's premier design fair. The prize catapulted Kjærholm's career and immediately he became a name on the international scene and has enjoyed this position ever since.
The PK22 is available in wicker of fully upholstered in a limited range of leathers or suede. The base is made of satin brushed stainless steel.
