This exquisite book unveils the genius of Kjaerholm, a Danish furniture designer whose keen eye lent his work a sense of lyrical elegance unparalleled in Denmark’s rich design history. His work reveals a striking ability to evoke a sense of continuity and flow with seemingly incongruous materials, as varied as steel, leather, cane, and glass, for example. Throughout his work, Kjærholm undoubtedly fulfilled his goal of “making form a part of function.” Written by leading furniture experts and architects who elucidate different facets of this remarkable artist’s life and work, this book also includes stunning photographs of his furniture, captured by his friend Helmer-Petersen.
