Poul Kjaerholm ’s furniture designs were characterized by a simple aesthetic that stripped away ornament in favor of clean lines and materials-based beauty. He used steel frames extensively in his work, often in combination with natural materials such as wood, cane, and leather, and was a strong proponent of industrial production.





Designing often necessitates considering the aesthetic, functional, economic and sociopolitical dimensions of the design object & design process.
