Introducing Kai Christiansen's lifestyle, who has been making furniture for over half a century
To be "seriously involved" in everything
It touches my heart.
Respect for the Master and My Own Beliefs
After completing his furniture-making apprenticeship, Christiansen studied under Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
Clint:
He had a design philosophy that made use of classic and traditional furniture shapes and techniques.
Christiansen said,
He respects and sincerely studies his philosophy and teachings, and is said to have breathed fresh air into the furniture industry by designing furniture that simultaneously emphasizes ergonomics, functionality, and productivity .
What is design?
Christiansen has spent his entire life thinking about furniture.
More simply,
More functionality,
More beautiful.
Here is his original vintage chair, which he has been working with furniture for over half a century.
Is it a reflection of his feelings at the time, or is it a sign of respect for the fact that he continues to work at the forefront of design today?
It's a really strange feeling.
The only place you can get your hands on such a precious chair is through Kai Kristiansen's masterpiece chairs.
