Episode one — On Poul Kjærholm

Thomas Kjærholm grew up in a house his mother designed and his father furnished. He lives in it still. Thomas speaks with Fritz Hansen’s Christian Andresen about his father — the precision that ran through Kjærholm’s work, and why each new generation finds its way back to it.

“If you went to a restaurant or cafe, he would take a napkin and sit and design details of a bracket or a screw or a piece of glass.” 
— Thomas Kjærholm
