Kai Kristiansen Furniture

Bureau model 420 designed by Kai Kristiansen. Produced by Aksel Kjersgaard in Denmark.

This gorgeous Rosewood and Aluminum desk by Kai Kristiansen for Feldballes Møbelfabrik was designed and produced in the 1960s, Denmark, and features incredible Brazilian Rosewood with vivid exotic grain which was beautifully refinished in a French Polish lacquer, the most expensive and laborious process which achieves the most luxurious results. French Polish requires many hand applied coats which provides a strong and hard protective surface suitable for regular daily use while giving a clear and thick glass-like surface that accentuates and exemplifies the exotic wood grain. This freestanding desk floats on top of two structural legs finished with aluminum capped feet which also match the drawer handles on the six pull out drawers. On the backside of the desk are three cubby spaces with ample room to store your favorite books, picture frames or family kick-knacks and tchotchkes. This exotic 1960s Rosewood desk by Kai Kristiansen produced by Feldballes Mobelfabrik, which design has also been attributed to Ejgil Petersen...

This mirror is from the famed “Hallmöbel” (Hall furniture) series by Danish designer Kai Kristiansen. With an overall look and details that represent mid-century Danish Modernism, this “No. 146” mirror is rooted in tradition. As it can be expected from Kai Kristiansen, this mirror reflects the Danish traditions of timelessness and quality. This sizeable model follows the understated yet well-though out design principles of Kristiansen with simple lines and visible joinery. The rectangular frame and the beautiful wood grain provide simple elegance, making this mirror perfect to bring some understated modernism to any space. The mirror is numbered with ‘146’ as well as with the manufacturer’s stamp.

He apprenticed in cabinetmaking before he in 1948 enrolled in the prestigious Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen under the highly influential designer Kaare Klint. At the age of only 26, Kristiansen opened his own studio and began to create furniture in what would soon become known as the Danish modern style. His designs would be produced by well-known Danish manufacturers, such as Feldballes Møbelfabrik, Fornem Møbelkunst, Fritz Hansen, Vildbjerg Møbelfabrik and Magnus Olesen. Best known for his smooth and geometric Mid-Century Modern cabinets, tables, and dining chairs. Working in oak, teak, and rosewood, the designer produced popular, pioneering pieces including the cabinets, chairs and diverse furniture for halls. The designer opened his own office in Copenhagen in 1955, a space he shared with his contemporary Illum Wikkelsø in the 1970s. Thanks to the FM system...
