Poul Kjærholm (b. Østervrå 1929, d. Hillerød 1980)

“PK 13”. A cantilever armchair of chromed steel. Seat and back upholstered with black leather. Designed 1974. This example manufactured 1970s by E. Kold Christensen, stamped by maker.

“PK 13” is probably Kjærholm's most radical design. The minimalistic appearance is the result of a unique interpretation of Mies van der Rohe's Brno-chair, in which any excess has been removed.
