Poul Kjærholm at Fritz Hansen

For 3daysofdesign Fritz Hansen set out displays or organise demonstrations in their Copenhagen store at Valkendorfsgade 4 but, this year, they have tried something that is much more ambitious because the space of the store has been taken over for a major exhibition on the work of the architect and designer Poul Kjærholm.

Fritz Hansen acquired the license to produce the works by Kjærholm after the death of the designer in 1980 and a significant proportion of his works are still in the Fritz Hansen catalogue.

The furniture currently available was shown here together with drawings and photographs from the company archive and with some of the chair frames stripped down to show how they are constructed and, along with these, are some of the bolts and fixings that are such a crucial part of the engineering of these pieces.

The exhibition opened on 24 October 2020 and continues through to the 14 November 2020
