The Furniture of Poul Kjaerholm: Catalogue Raisonne is the
comprehensive and definitive reference work on one of the most
important and profound designers of the twentieth century. Poul
Kjaerholm (Denmark, 1929-80) was a furniture architect whose unique
aesthetic language combined industrial materials and techniques with a
craftsman's approach to details and materials. The catalogue has been
authored by the American architect Michael Sheridan, an internationally
recognized expert on Scandinavian architecture and design and the
world's foremost authority on Kjaerholm. This volume includes 70
entries that document, analyze and describe all of Kjaerholm's realized
designs. The entries include furniture dimensions and information about
materials, as well as a wealth of drawings and vintage photographs. The
book features the renowned Modernist photographer Keld
Helmer-Petersen's iconic photographs of Kjaerholm's work.
Helmer-Petersen was Kjaerholm's creative partner for three decades and
documented his furniture and exhibitions over this period. Sheridan's
biographical essay traces and discusses the development of Kjaerholm's
formal vision over the course of his career. Supplementary information
includes a timeline of production dates, manufacturer information,
notes on materials and maintenance and production stamps.The book
was compiled with the assistance of the Kjaerholm family and includes a
foreword by Hanne Kjaerholm. It was designed by Takaaki Matsumoto, one
of the most respected designers of art books in the world. Printed
entirely in black-and-white duotone, the many archival photographs in
the book are reproduced in the finest quality. Destined to become a
model for the field of design, The Furniture of Poul Kjaeholm
is an instant classic and an essential reference for readers interested
in furniture, interior design and the history of modern architecture
and design.
