Poul Kjærholm
Poul Kjærholm (1929–1980) was a Danish designer celebrated for his refined modernist furniture that combined minimalism with meticulous craftsmanship. Trained as a cabinetmaker and later at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen, he favored industrial materials such as steel, glass, and leather, elevating them with an elegance usually reserved for wood. His most iconic designs include the PK22 lounge chair (1956) and the PK80 daybed, produced by Fritz Hansen and later by Republic of Fritz Hansen. Kjærholm’s furniture embodies clarity, proportion, and subtle luxury, securing his reputation as one of Scandinavia’s foremost 20th-century designers.
