PK22 Mid-century Modern Classic Armchair

First introduced in 1956, the PK22 boasts a sleek modernist design and provides unexpected comfort. Its timeless combination of stainless steel and leather quickly received design honors. A perfect choice for any modernist collection, the PK22 is showcased in the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Making the Icon

Poul's PK22 design draws elements from spring structures. The chair comprises legs with side-rails and slightly U-shaped crossbars for support. Crafted in brushed satin #304 stainless steel, this high-quality reproduction ensures strength and rust resistance. The seat and back feature Premium Genuine Top Grain Aniline leather, delivering seating comfort through angled tilt and dense cushioning encased in leather.

Scandinavian designers traditionally use wood extensively, but Poul uniquely integrated stainless steel and leather, maintaining the use of wood when suitable for his aesthetic. The 1958 Lunning Award was granted for the PK22's simple, compact modernist design, also winning Grand Prizes at the 1957 and 1960 Milan Triennials. Kardiel's reproduction remains true to the original's dimensions and material use.

Genuine Top Grain Aniline Leather

Our Semi Aniline leather is sourced from Vicenza, Italy, ensuring high-quality hides. Liquid dyeing reveals the natural leather grain, developing a desired patina over time. A wax layer is added before dyeing to enhance consistency and surface protection, offering additional time for spill cleanup. Complimentary samples are available upon request.
