Kold christensen. This is a rare first edition set, originating from the first owner, a detail that significantly enhances both provenance and historical value.

the pk22 is widely regarded as one of kjærholm’s most refined designsan almost sculptural expression of his philosophy that steel should be treated with the same respect as fine wood. The lightly curved stainless steel frame appears delicate yet is structurally precise, supporting the floating leather seat in a way that feels both architectural and effortless.

the black leather has aged beautifully, developing a soft patina that complements the subtle wear on the stainless steel frame. The visual lightness, low profile, and perfectly judged proportions make the pk22 a timeless modern classic, equally at home in minimalist interiors, curated design collections, or museum level settings.

this pair represents danish modernism at its purest: restrained, intellectual, and quietly luxurious.

condition
very good condition, with age appropriate wear. The leather shows a beautiful, natural patina, and the stainless steel frames display an attractive surface character consistent with careful use over time.
