Poul Kjærholm PK31/3 Leather Sofa for Fritz Hansen

Designed by Poul Kjærholm in 1958 for Fritz Hansen, the PK31/3 is one of the most refined expressions of Danish modern design. Combining clean architectural lines with exceptional craftsmanship, the sofa reflects Kjærholm's unique ability to balance industrial materials with luxurious comfort.

The design is defined by its precise steel frame and generously proportioned leather cushions. Rather than concealing the structure, Kjærholm celebrated the relationship between the exposed steel and the soft upholstery, creating a sofa that feels both elegant and inviting. The result is a piece that appears remarkably light despite its substantial comfort.

This example is upholstered in leather and retains the timeless character that has made the PK31 series one of Kjærholm's most sought-after designs. The restrained silhouette allows it to work effortlessly in both contemporary and classic interiors, while the deep seating provides a comfortable lounge experience.

The sofa measures approximately 78.7 inches long, 29.9 inches deep, and 29.9 inches high, with a seat height of approximately 15 inches.

Condition is good vintage. The leather shows signs of wear, scratches, and marks consistent with age and use. These signs of use contribute to the character of the piece and reflect its history.

What we like most about the PK31/3 is its balance between structure and comfort. The exposed steel frame gives the sofa a strong architectural presence, while the soft leather cushions keep it warm, comfortable, and inviting.

As with all vintage pieces, signs of use are part of the story. Colors can look slightly different depending on the light. If you'd like more photos or details, just let me know.
