The celebrated Danish architect and furniture designer Poul Kjaerholm‘s elegant and rational furniture designs, such as the PK22 chair (1956) and the Hammock PK24 chaise Iongue (1965), were conceived within the Modernist idiom, they managed to avoid the alienating hard-edged aesthetic so common to the work of the Modern Movement.
Kjaerholm achieved this through the high-quality construction and realization of his designs, which retained a sense of traditional craftsmanship.
