Poul Henningsen designed in the 1930s 5 different, beautiful, functional and alternative chairs with a minimum of materials. His aim was to offer comfort and at the same time achieve aesthetic satisfaction, and in this way, he created 5 statement pieces: the PH Armchair, the PH Pope Chair, the PH Lounge Chair, the PH Chair and the PH Snake Chair.
Made with gently curved tubular steel legs, each of the chairs invites contemplation and lush relaxation in their leather or Hallingdal seats. Quality materials make these chairs an elegant design piece that will last for generations.
Poul Henningsen aimed to design the PH Chair as a next generation product that would improve on classic wooden designs by incorporating steel. In its current style, the dynamism of its forms, and its modern expression, the PH Chair is timeless. This chair exemplifies Poul Henningsen's spirit of “uncomplicated simplicity”.
This chair is aesthetically basic but incredibly functional, with simply two bent steel tubes in the backrest that rest on each other. The PH Chair sends out a strong message of elegance and practicality. The PH Chair can be used in a variety of settings, including at home, at work, or in public space.
In 1932, Poul Henningsen presented eight tubular steel furniture designs at the Danish Fair for Industrial Design and Products. Bold, elegant and radically modern, the pieces stood apart from the wood furniture that defined the time. Although they drew attention in the Danish press, the collection never entered serial production. The market was not yet ready for such avant-garde designs, and the technology of the 1930s could not fully realize their complexity. Their curved forms and innovative construction were simply too advanced for the period. Only today has it become possible to reproduce them with the precision they require. After years of research, development and the search for the right craftsmanship, the collection has finally been brought to life. Each piece is produced in full respect of PH’s original vision and proportions. The result is a collection that still feels strikingly contemporary almost a century later. Functional yet sculptural, these works stand as timeless design pieces made for daily use and lasting value.
