Fritz Hansen PK22™ Chair
Design: Poul Kjærholm
Manufactured under license in Denmark by Fritz Hansen
Dimensions (in): 24.8 w | 24.8 d | 28 h | seat; 13.8 h
The discrete and elegant lounge chair PK22™ epitomizes the work of Poul Kjærholm and his search for the ideal type-form and industrial dimension, which was always present in his work. The profile of the steel frame structure originates from his graduation project, the "Element" Chair (PK25™), from the School of Applied Arts in Copenhagen. On the PK22, the structure was divided into separate elements due to design improvements and for economical production.
The Fritz Hansen PK22™ Chairwas an immediate commercial and critical success. In 1957, the chair was awarded the Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale, the world's premier design fair. The prize catapulted Kjærholm's career and immediately he became a name on the international scene and has enjoyed this position ever since.

About the designer: Poul Kjærholm
In 1955 Poul Kjærholm initiated his collaboration with manufacturer Ejvind Kold Christensen, which lasted until Poul Kjærholm's death in 1980. In 1982, Fritz Hansen took over the production and sales of "The Kjærholm Collection", developed from 1951 to 1967, designs, which are logical to the minute detail with an aura of exclusivity. In 2007 Fritz Hansen added two new pieces to the Kjærholm Collection. Pieces that were never in production before, the PK8™ side chair and PK58™ dining table.
