Poul Kjaerholm's minimalist design is truly a feat of engineering, this lounge chair looks simple but is far from it. In his original 1956 design Kjaerholm conducts a fine balancing act in which the double cross beams at the base of the chair are strategically placed to hold the cantilevered seat and prevent the chair collapsing when in use. Kjaerholm's positioning of structural elements are perfect, resulting in an intelligently designed chair that possesses a deceptively minimal look. Our replica PK22 chair incorporates the same engineering and structure and maintains the intended minimal aesthetic.
