Poul Kjaerholm - Milan Direct

Designer Profile: Poul Kjaerholm

Poul Kjaerholm Bio:

Kjaerholm's work stands apart from other Danish designers for his extensive use of steel frames rather than traditional wood. He did however employ natural materials to soften his designs, with use of cane, canvas and rope as seats for example. Much of Kjaerholm's work is inspired from other famous designers of the 20th century, with the Hammock Chair sharing many similar design feats with the Le Corbusier LC4 Chaise Lounge, and Kjaerholm's 'PK22' chair is a tribute to the 'Barcelona Chair,' a Mies van der Rohe’s famous design.
