The legacy of Poul Kjaerholm is distinctive within the Danish tradition for being both minimalist and elegant. He apprenticed as a cabinetmaker at the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen. Though his training was in carpentry and woodworking he came to prefer industrial production methods and he made extensive use of steel frames in the designs of his chairs. It was the combination of steel frames with natural materials like leather, rattan, and canvases that is Kjaerholm’s defining feature setting him apart from his Danish contemporaries. The modernist works of le Corbusier and Breuer have been credited as influencing him in these choices.

In addition to his work as an independent designer, Poul Kjaerholm was a teacher at the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen from 1952-1956. In 1958 he joined the faculty at the Royal Academy of Art as an assistant. In 1959 he would become a lecturer and in 1976 he was finally awarded full professorship in the department of furniture and interior design where he served until his untimely death in 1980. During his career he received several awards for his work including two Grand Prix at the Milan Trienalle in 1957 and 1960. Since these award winning works have been given places in the permanent collections of New York’s Museum of Modern Art and other museums like it around the world and are still in production today, we can agree with other commentators that Kjaerholm’s significance is not confined to one era in design history but is in some sense beyond eras.
