Set of two pk 22 chairs by poul kjaerholm, denmark, 1955. A rare early set of pk22 lounge chairs by poul kjærholm, produced by e. Kold christensen before the manufacturing was taken over by fritz hansen. These are early examples with their original woven cane seats, still fully intact. The cane has darkened over the decades into a warm, rich tone – a natural patina that clearly sets them apart from the newer productions with pale, uniform finishes. The steel frames show light signs of age, mostly around the joints and lower legs, but remain sharp in form. The chairs still have that floating, balanced look kjærholm is known for, where everything feels reduced to essentials without losing comfort. The cane weaving is finely done, especially visible at the edges and corners where the wrap is tight and deliberate. Nothing has been replaced or restored – what you see is the original work, very well-preserved.
this version, with woven cane and e. Kold christensen’s production stamp, is increasingly hard to find. An identical pair is part of the permanent collection at the danish design museum in copenhagen, which underlines the importance and rarity of this edition in kjærholm’s body of work. It’s a quiet, confident set – not polished, not overworked – just well-aged materials holding a strong, minimal form. For collectors or anyone looking for a pure, early example of kjærholm’s thinking. this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
