Poul Kjærholm
A trained cabinetmaker, Poul Kjærholm’s use of industrial methods and materials in the 1960s brought a fresh, graceful, sleek new style to Danish modern design.
At what is now the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Kjærholm studied under Hans Wegner and Jørn Utzon — an industrial designer and the architect of the celebrated Sydney Opera House. The latter greatly influenced Kjærholm’s furniture production techniques — although he employed natural materials such as cane and leather, to a far greater extent than his peers Kjærholm embraced the use of steel (rather than wood) framing for his chairs, daybeds and tables.
Kjærholm’s signal design was the PK22 chair of 1956, a low-slung leather lounger on a steel base. The ideas introduced in the PK22 — Kjærholm’s designs were named using a numeric system devised with his manufacturer, E. Kold Christensen — were refined throughout his career, as the offerings below show: the PK11 chair of 1957, with back and armrests formed by a semicircle of ash; the capacious, richly patinated leather seat of a vintage 1961 PK9 chair; the elegant rattan swoop of the PK 24 chaise longue (1965). The chaise longue's leather headrest, held in place by a steel counterweight, best shows Kjærholm's particular gift for combining technological advancements with a respect for traditional detailing.
While respectful of the past, Poul Kjærholm's sensibility is one of optimism and expectation. His was design for those who lived with verve and élan, and confidently anticipated the future.

- PK9 Chairs by Poul Kjaerholm, Denmark, 1960sBy E. Kold Christensen, Poul KjærholmLocated in Antwerp, BEThe PK9 chair, also known as the Tulip chair, designed by Poul Kjærholm and produced by E. Kold Christensen. Its distinctive silhouette, characterized by three impeccably crafted satin-brushed stainless steel springs that serve as columns, provides not only structural support but also a visually striking aesthetic. What makes these chairs even more exceptional is the rarity of the seat in its original leather. This not only adds to their historical value, but also indicates that the materials used are of durable quality. The real inspiration for this chair came from a sand print of Kjærholms wife after a day at the beach, resulting in a design that combines aesthetics and comfort. Each chair tells a story of precise craftsmanship and thoughtful ergonomics, as Hanne Kjærholm herself was involved in the design process by sitting in clay boxes...Category
