{"title":"Poul Kjaerholm","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"m-brand-additional-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"m-brand-description\"\u003ePoul Kjaerholm (1929-1980) designed modern functionalist furniture that was praised for its understated elegance and clean lines. He studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen where he would later teach, from 1952-56. He went on to become a lecturer and professor in the furniture and interior design department at the Academy of Art from 1957-76. Although he was formally trained as a cabinetmaker, Kjaerholm was a strong proponent for industrial production and his work stands out among that of his Danish contemporaries because of his extensive use of steel frames rather than the traditional wood. He did, however, design many of his seats in natural materials like cane, canvas, leather and rope. Kjaerholm’s designs for Fritz Hansen include the PK22 easy chairs, the PK61 coffee table and the PK80 daybed, all of which are available from Aram Store as a preferred partner.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"m-navigation-replacer\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pk52-professor-desk-oiled-oak-top","title":"PK52 Professor Desk | Oiled Oak Top","description":"The PK52 Professor Desk has a light, simple design, and clearly demonstrates the exquisite interplay between materials which is typical of Poul Kjærholm's designs.

On the PK22, the structure was divided into separate elements due to design improvements and for economical production. The PK22 was an immediate commercial and critical success. In 1957, the chair was awarded the Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale, the world’s premier design fair.

Consequently, the chair has no physical connection between the main parts, which are instead kept together by gravity and the friction between the elements. Kjærholm also labelled the PK24 the “Hammock Chair” to stress that the chair functioned by suspending the body between two points.
