Introducing the PK23 lounge chair by Poul Kjærholm-a sculptural masterpiece in moulded plywood with a double-shell seat and crafted metal details. Designed in 1954, it captures Kjærholm's early exploration of industrial techniques, and tells a story not often heard about the legendary designer.

Based on Kjærholm’s drawings, the PK23 was first produced as an exhibition piece for a major retrospective of his work at Denmark’s Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in 2006. Kjærholm’s wife, the architect Hanne, collaborated with Fritz Hansen to translate his ideas into one exhibition chair. To put that prototype into production Fritz Hansen worked with Kjærholm’s children, Thomas and Krestine, making critical small adjustments but remaining true to the original design.

About the
Seller

Established in 1997, Cult (formerly Corporate Culture) formed to provide not only exceptional designer furniture, but also a high level of customer service, a combination not yet experienced in the Australian marketplace.

In his endeavours since then, company founder and director Richard Munao has built one of the most comprehensive collections of brand partners in Australia and New Zealand. Cult has grown from its first location in Sydney to now include showrooms in Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland as well as distributors in Canberra, Adelaide and Perth.

In addition to founding Cult, and supporting strong international partners like Fritz Hansen, Carl Hansen & Son, &Tradition, HAY and Gubi, Richard is actively involved in discovering and mentoring emerging Australian and New Zealand design talent. As founder of Cult’s Design Journey Competition, which began in 2004, Richard gives designers throughout Australia and New Zealand the opportunity to have their designs prototyped and put into production.
