Poul Kjaerholm insp PK31 Armchair

The PK31 armchair impresses with its minimalist lines and simple elegance. The stainless steel frame was designed by Paul Kjaerholm with a precision of workmanship that not only looks aesthetically pleasing, but also ensures strength and durability. The armchair sits on a simple yet sophisticated frame construction that gives a sense of lightness without compromising on strength.

The armchair is a luxurious piece of furniture, both visually and tactilely, as it is covered in fine leather or the finest fabrics. The polished stainless steel structure reflects light, emphasising the modern look of the design. The ergonomically designed seat cushion provides maximum comfort, while the low backrest gives the armchair a modern and stylish silhouette. The PK31 armchair is part of the eponymous series developed by Paul Kjaerholm in collaboration with the Danish furniture brand E. Kold Christensen. Kjaerholm was known for his use of industrial materials and for his development of furniture that was both modern and timeless. Unlike many of his colleagues who used wood as their primary material, Kjaerholm opted for stainless steel, leather and textiles; this decision makes the PK31 armchair a prime example of innovative furniture design. The armchair first appeared at the Cologne Furniture Fair in 1958 and immediately attracted great attention. With its elegant combination of curved stainless steel frame and luxurious leather upholstery, the PK31 armchair was considered progressive and modern, bringing the Danish design tradition into a new era. The chair quickly became a favourite in the world of architecture and design and has established itself as an integral part of the international design scene. Over the years, the PK31 armchair has been produced in various versions, especially in different leather and fabric coverings. However, the stainless steel frame remains the design characteristic. Attention to detail and high-quality workmanship make the PK31 armchair a long-lasting and valuable collector's item.
