Poul Kjaerholm (1929-1980) A Cabinet maker and designer heavily influenced by
designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, Bauhaus icon Ludwig Mies van der
Rohe and the Dutch minimalist Gerrit Rietveld. Kjaerholm work was geared
towards mass production and the modern movement and was able to couple
traditional craftsmanship with industrial production. Kjaerholm incorporated artistic
fineness into steel as other natural materials, used untraditional methods of
manufacturing (compression-moulded plywood) in his search for a minimalist
ideal.
