Poul Kjaerholm

A Danish cabinetmaker and skilled craftsman, Kjærholm made a study of steel in a way no one ever had before, especially given that throughout Danish furniture history, most designers used wood as their medium. Rather than welding, he chose to use fixings from aviation design practices. With each of his pieces he took great care with the finishings treating the alloy as a precious metal.

Preben Fabricius a trained Danish cabinetmaker studied under Niels Vodder and Finn Juhl.
