Poul Kjærholm
PK1 CHAIR
Ole Wanscher’s deep respect for materials, craftsmanship, and function
come to the fore on the OW58 T-Chair, relaunched in a tribute to
his original design — albeit adjusted in height to provide optimum
ergonomics for today’s design enthusiasts who have grown taller
since 1958. The chair’s distinctive expression challenges the art of the
possible without compromising craftsmanship or comfort. The result
of careful processing and many carpentry hours to achieve smooth
transitions in the joints, the chair’s most striking detail is the T-shaped
backrest, which merges with the tightly placed back legs, giving the
chair a three-legged appearance.
A design that demands
exceptional carpentry
The PK1 Chair is an outstanding example of Poul Kjærholm’s unique ability to realise the full potential
of his chosen materials. It demonstrates his search for authenticity and perfection in form, function,
and execution. A complex design with a straightforward, minimalist expression, the PK1 is brought to
life through highly skilled craftsmanship with the precise weaving of the paper cord. The pairing of the
organic paper cord with a dynamic steel frame results in exceptional comfort and visual lightness.
