Early Poul Kjaerholm PK-25 lounge chair produced by E Kold Christensen, Denmark 1960s. Made from steel bars with a matte finish. Has traces of the original black colour on the flag hayard cord. Very rare. The chair is Poul Kjaerholm’s first model, designed in 1951 and executed as his degree project in 1952. Already here, Kjaerholm seeks to reduce the material, his desire to create a pure form of a single piece of steel. Fritz Hansen made a few copies of the model in the 1950s. E Kold Christensen then took up production in 1960 and then called the chair PK25. In 1982 Fritz Hansen took over the production of Kjaerholm’s furniture. Measurements: Height 74 cm, seat height approximately 40 cm. Condition: In good but vintage condition. Some rust on the frame.
