Furniture

Pair of 'PK-25' Chairs

History:
Poul Kjaerholm designed the 'PK-25' chair during his period at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts. Hans J. Wegner, teacher at the School, presented his students with a final assignment in 1951, asking the students to design furniture for a well known architect's living room. Kjaerholm designed this chair for the living room of architect Halldor Gunnløgsson.  

When the chair was seen by Fritz Hansen's Managing Director Søren Hansen it led to Poul Kjærholm being hired by Fritz Hansen. Here, the 'PK 25' chair was put in a very limited production in 1952, where the first three production models ended up with the architect they were intended for all along, Halldor Gunnløgsson. Two of these first production models are available: ref. 2212024. A pair of the first production by Fritz Hansen are available: ref. <a href="https://www.jacksons.se/products/pair-of-early-pk-25-lounge-chairs-2405081" target="_blank">2405081</a>.

Three tables were made for the Swedish arts and crafts exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum in New York in 1927. After the successes in Paris in 1925, Sweden as the only nation was invited for the first time to participate in an art industry exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts in New York. The exhibition opened January 17 in the presence of H.K.H. Prince Wilhelm and Sweden's envoy to Washington, the envoy Wolman Boström. The exhibition was a success and in SSF's Tidskrift (Form) 1927 Gregor Paulsson writes that "According to information, no exhibition has had such publicity in the daily New York newspapers. The number of visitors was very large. The highest number of visitors in one day was before my return trip 6000 people, which is a record at the Metropolitan Museum. " Invitations later came to move the exhibit to other cities in the United States, including Detroit and Chicago. After the Stockholm Exhibition in 1930, where one of the tables was exhibited, the tables have not been seen in any major context. This table was disassembled and the parts were scattered.
