Poul Series Tulip Chair

Poul Kjærholm once remarked, "Steel’s constructive potential is not the only thing that interests me; the refraction of light on its surface is an important part of my artistic work,” with the Tulip Chair's blend of industrial and natural materials reveals the inherent beauty of each. Suitable for dining, office, and side chair applications.

Poul Kjærholm was a Danish furniture designer who revolutionized modern design with his precise craftsmanship and innovative material combinations. Beginning his career at just 19, Kjærholm quickly established himself through his rigorous attention to structural clarity and material integrity. His work seamlessly blended steel—his preferred material—with leather, cane, and rope, creating pieces that were industrial and organic.

Poul Kjærholm's approach is personified in designs like the PK22 chair, PK31 modular system, and the sculptural PK9 Tulip chair. Kjærholm's exacting standards and minimalist aesthetic have had a lasting influence on Danish and global furniture design.
