Characterised by its wide, low-profile form tailored for relaxed conversations, the chair features vertically divided laminated veneer shells for both the seat and backrest, bridged by an elegant connector detail. The PK23 chair represents an evolutionary stage in Kjærholm's design journey, blending elements from his earlier PK4 and PK0 models while foreshadowing the structural and minimalist style that would come to define later works. The PK23™ chair's laminated veneer shells for the seat and back come in 3 varieties: black-painted ash veneer, walnut veneer or oak veneer. A double bracket connector detail elegantly bridges the backrest divide.About the DesignerA trained cabinetmaker who completed his studies at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts, Poul Kjærholm had a particular interest in construction materials; especially steel, which he considered a material deserving the artistic respect that was commonly awarded to wood. Poul Kjærholm initiated a collaboration with furniture manufacturer Ejvind Kold Christensen in 1955, and that collaboration continued for the rest of Kjærholm’s life with the two families remaining close to this very day.Dimensions70cm H x 75cm W x 62cm DSeat height: 36cm5.9kgMaterialsShell: Black Coloured Ash Veneer, Clear Lacquered Oak Veneer, Clear Lacquered Walnut VeneerBase: Matt Brushed Stainless SteelDelivery InformationAfter your order is confirmed, we will email you with an estimated date of arrival.
