- This video is an introduction to the life and works of Danish furniture architect Poul Kjaerholm. He was a student of Hans J Wegner but chose a somewhat different path working with steel instead of wood. His modernist furniture are today true classics!

Caesar! What is on your face!? 😆 🤣.
just curious if you have any ideas on where to get a used PK9 chair for $1000 - $2000 like you said in your video. I have never seen them for that price
Sent you an email.
@@ScandinavianDesign101 Good jobs guys, may I have email also? 😄
@@ScandinavianDesign101 Could I please also get the email? Loved the video btw!
Hej på er!
Hej!
I have a pk 22 by Poul/Fritz, 2007. I enjoyed it very much but would sell it if anyone is interested.
great job guys, thank you a real pleasure to watch this video. an italian fan of scandinavian design 😉
Thank's a lot! We're so glad you like our channel!
PK91 looks like Kaare Klint's propeller stool. Also I found an article @ danishdesignreview stating that the propeller stool started as a drawing from one of Kaare Klint's students. However the Carl Hansen website gives all the credit for the design to Kaare Klint. Thoughts on its origin? Thanks and love this channel!!
Hello! Well, it’s a fact that quite a few of the “Kaare Klint desiges” were made by students. Guess the propeller was a project initiated by Klint but executed by his students. And Kjærholm was highly inspired by Klint, Breuer and a lot of other predecessors. It’s a bit like the furniture said to be works by George Nelson. He didn’t design classics like the Marshmallow sofa or the Coconut chair but they are still today attributed to him.
Thank you.
Thanks!
thank you - very enlightening.
Thanks a lot! 😄
@@ScandinavianDesign101 I've shared this video with my students and colleagues at the architecture school where I teach, (firstly, I hope you don't mind?). The Scandinavian designers were on the whole much subtler and gentler than the hardcore architectural 'Gods' of the 20th century (who got their girlfriends to do all the donkey work anyway), but remain relatively unknown except for inside Taschen's '1000 Chairs'. Oddly, I think there is a lot to be learnt from the listings of eBay, because I suppose people who bought and were given this furniture when they got married when it was new, are now leaving it for their families to dispose of. I think your little explanations are a very valuable insight into what in England is still a relatively little known design 'school', I especially enjoy the little explorations of contracts, double dealing and copyright breaches which will probably come as a bit of a surprise to my students ! thanks, Colin
