14-FI, PK80 Daybed, a Study in Danish Steel Modernism - Leather Upholstery - Inspired by Poul Kjaerholm
Introduced in 1957, the PK80 Daybed is widely regarded as one of Poul Kjærholm's most refined and architecturally expressive designs. Defined by its disciplined proportions, material honesty and visual lightness, the daybed demonstrates Kjærholm's unique ability to reduce form to its essential elements without sacrificing comfort or elegance.
The design is characterized by a striking contrast between the precision of its steel structure and the softness of its generously upholstered mattress. Every component is treated as an independent element, creating a composition that feels both engineered and effortlessly balanced. The result is a piece that functions equally well as a daybed, bench or sculptural centerpiece within an interior.
Our interpretation remains faithful to the original design language, featuring a brushed stainless steel frame paired with a carefully upholstered mattress and a discreet black support platform. Precision-crafted construction details preserve the clean architectural appearance that defines the design while ensuring long-term durability and everyday practicality.
The mattress is upholstered in premium leather and distinguished by its characteristic welted grid pattern, a defining feature that reinforces the clarity and proportion of the overall composition. Generous cushioning provides exceptional comfort while maintaining the crisp, tailored silhouette of the design.
Available in a range of leather finishes, the PK80 remains one of the most celebrated icons of Scandinavian modernism—an enduring statement piece that brings elegance, restraint and architectural presence to contemporary interiors.
For enhanced everyday comfort, our version is offered with a slightly increased seat height. Clients seeking proportions closer to the original specification may request the standard lower height when placing an order.
