Product Detail
Design Poul Kjaerholm, 1957
The PK80 daybed is a perfect shape and design between form and the selected materials like leather and stainless steel. It is minimalist but sophisticated. Its cushion can be upholstered in leather or in canvas Natural. Its base is in satin stainless steel.
The PK80 day bed is in the galleries of the Museum of Modern Art in New York since 2004.
In an ongoing attempt to unite the sublime with the absolutely necessary, Poul Kjaerholm designed the PK80 Daybed. The result is one of Kjaerholm's most sophisticated and iconic designs with a striking beauty. The daybed is a clear illustration of Poul Kjaerholm's method of refining historical models and distilling them down to the essence and demonstrating his superior ability to balance construction and choice of materials. The inspiration for the daybed came from Bauhaus, which in turn, were inspired by ancient Roman couches. The purchase of the PK80 for the galleries of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, in 2004, recognizes the daybed's natural place in furniture history. A beautiful statement piece that can be used for extra seating and also double as a sleeper sofa bed for quick afternoon naps.
