About the designer

Poul Kjærholm was a trained cabinet maker and continued his studies at the Danish School of Arts and
Crafts in Copenhagen. He had a particular interest in different construction materials, especially steel, which
he considered a natural material with the same artistic fineness as other natural materials.

Poul Kjærholm was first employed at Fritz Hansen for about a year, where he designed a number of noteworthy
chair prototypes. In 1955, Poul Kjærholm initiated his collaboration with manufacturer Ejvind Kold Christensen,
which lasted until Kjærholm’s death in 1980. In 1982, Fritz Hansen took over the manufacture and sales of
“The Kjærholm Collection”, which was developed over the period 1951 to 1967.
