Happy 93rd Birthday to Poul Kjærholm (1929-1980). An influential figure in Danish Modernist design, Poul Kjærholm combined structural craftsmanship and intelligent design to produce timeless design classics, seeking new ways to ‘unite tradition and innovation’. Simplicity was essential for Kjærholm, who insisted on using the highest quality materials. Known for his use of steel, leather and glass, Kjærholm originally trained as a cabinetmaker at the Danish School of Arts, before eventually turning to furniture as a form of expression. His most iconic product was the PK22 lounge chair, which combines a slouched seat with a sculptural frame. Kjærholm was influenced by global pioneers such as Miles van Der Rohe and Charles and Ray Eames. #poulkjaerholm #poulkjærholm #danishdesign #danishmodernism #modernism #1950s #interiors #1950sinterior #designshopslondon #midcenturygraphicdesign #mid20thcenturydesign #midcenturymodern #iconicdesign #antiqueshop #mixingstylesanderas #danishdesignfurniture #midcenturyfurniture #designclassic #interiordesign #interiordecorator #interiors #interiorshopslondon #designshopslondon #vintagefurnitureshowroom #chelseashops #bromptoncrosslondon #mixitup #buyvintagesavetheplanet #eclectichome #mixitup #interiorshowroom #setdesign #designemporium
