1st Edition PK22 Easy Chairs by Poul Kjärholm for E. Kold Christensen, 1956

Fantastic pair of ‘pk22’ easy chairs in natural wicker designed by poul kjærholm in 1956. Exceptional because they are one of the first unstamped productions by ekc from the 1950s. The original cane seats have a great patina thanks to age and use after almost 70 years. It shows some defects and traces of use but still very firm and ready to use as is. Very rare to find an original unstamped pair of these chairs. See the book reference where it’s shown that in the very early production days the frames were not stamped yet.
