Poul Kjaerholm insp PK31 Sofa

The PK31 Sofa impresses with its minimalist lines and simple elegance. The stainless steel frame was designed by Paul Kjaerholm with a craftsmanship precision 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 sturdiness.

The PK31 Armchair Series is part of the eponymous series developed by Paul Kjaerholm in collaboration with Danish furniture brand E. Kold Christensen. Kjaerholm was known for his use of industrial materials and for his 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; a decision that makes the PK31 armchair a prime example of innovative furniture design. The armchair first debuted 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, taking the Danish design tradition into a new era. The armchair quickly became a darling of the architecture and design world and established itself as an integral part of the international design scene. Over the years, the PK31 armchair has been produced in various versions, particularly 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.
