Set of 2 PK 22 chairs by Poul Kjaerholm for E. Kold Christensen, Denmark, 1955.

Set of two PK 22 chairs by Poul Kjaerholm, Denmark, 1955. A rare vintage set of PK22 lounge chairs by Poul Kjærholm, produced by E. Kold Christensen before production was taken over by Fritz Hansen. These are early examples with their original woven cane seats, still completely intact. The cane has darkened over the decades to take on a warm and rich hue – a natural patina that clearly distinguishes them from more recent productions with pale and uniform finishes. The steel structures show slight signs of age, mainly around the joints and lower parts of the legs, but retain a sharp shape. The chairs maintain that floating and balanced look for which Kjærholm is known, where everything is reduced to the essentials without losing comfort. The cane weaving is finely executed, particularly visible on the edges and corners where the wrapping is tight and deliberate. Nothing has been replaced or restored – what you see is the original work, very well preserved. This version, with woven cane and the production stamp of E. Kold Christensen, is becoming increasingly difficult to find. An identical pair is part of the permanent collection of the Danish Design Museum in Copenhagen, highlighting the importance and rarity of this edition in Kjærholm's work. It is a discreet and self-assured set – not polished, not overworked – simply well-aged materials carrying a strong minimalist form. For collectors or anyone seeking a pure and vintage example of Kjærholm's thinking.
