Kai Kristiansen was born in Denmark in 1929 and is a key designer of the 20th century. Kristiansen studied as a carpenter an in 1948 he enrolled in the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen under the guidance of influential designer Kaare Klint. At the age of only 26, Kristiansen opened his own studio and started making furniture in what would soon become known as Danish Modern.
His designs were and still are produced by well-known Danish companies such as Feldballes Møbelfabrik, Fornem Møbelkunst, Fritz Hansen, Vildbjerg Møbelfabrik and Magnus Olesen.
