Stepping back into the archives, we are currently finding ourselves re-inspired by the 20th century works that have encouraged our present. Danish designer Poul Kjærholm's modern functionalist piece of furniture proves that modesty can too, indeed be visionary. His subtle attention to detail matched with clean lines and a harmonious balance of materials gives his work an understated demeanor of elegance.

Kjærholm’s 1964 PX 12 chair is effortless and sophisticated with no compromise in its functionality – an industrial approach incorporated with the designer’s unique innovation. The unique minimalism and fine finishes is why Kjærholm is regarded as truly a master of his craft, forming a legacy of work that we are still inspired by today.
