The PK80™ Daybed, designed by Poul Kjærholm in 1957, is a modernist icon that reflects his interest in structural clarity and material honesty. Inspired by a 1930 design by Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich, it strips the form down to its essentials: a flat, upholstered surface atop a sleek steel frame. Its balance of proportion, detail, and restraint has made it a staple in design museums, including MoMA.
Poul Kjærholm, originally trained as a cabinetmaker, brought a sculptural sensitivity to industrial materials, especially steel. His partnership with manufacturer Ejvind Kold Christensen played a central role in his career, and his work remains a cornerstone of Danish modern design.
