PK31
The PK31™ chair and sofa series is a prime example of
Poul Kjærholm’s ability to work with exquisite materials and minimalism. In the
search for the ideal form, Kjærholm created the PK31 – a fusion of elegance,
luxury and comfort. The PK31 series is available as an armchair and a 2- or
3-seater sofa and features a matt chromed spring steel frame. With its
ingenious modular construction, the 2-seater PK31/2 radiates industrial
strength and durability while providing perfectly proportioned comfort through
its beautifully upholstered seat and backrest in leather and canvas, clearly
illustrating Kjærholm’s unwavering belief in the very highest standards of
craftsmanship - down to the very last stitch.

Poul Kjærholm |
A purist,
Poul Kjærholm is known for his modern, functionalist furniture, praised for its
understated elegance and clean lines. His uncompromising goal of "making
form a part of function" helps peel away the superfluous, creating a
refined, timeless and utilitarian object. Throughout his tenure, he insisted on structural
clarity and technical quality, emphasizing its application in the design of
everyday objects by celebrating the assembly details and showing the components
of every object– from nails to screws and joints. His furniture quickly
benchmarked Danish design, as did his objects (the PK-Bowl is one of our
favorites!), leading the way in the development of the austere, yet functional
style that would help define this era.
It’s not surprising that his rigor and attention
to detail have won him a place in the permanent collection of the Museum of
Modern Art in New York, the V&A Museum in London and other museum
collections in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Germany. |
