Kai Kristiansen is among the most innovative and talented Danish designers of the mid-20th century. He was born in 1929 and trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. His mentor was the famed father of modern Danish furniture design, Kaare Klint. Kristiansen excelled as a cabinetmaker and, in 1955, set up his design workshop. His talent was quickly recognised by some of Denmark's finest cabinet makers, and the result is some of the most stunning furniture produced during the mid-century era. Kristiansen was a multifaceted designer who was comfortable designing a range of furniture. His work is defined by clean lines and a perfect balance of form and function. He created some of the most desirable lounge, dining, and office furniture of the day in luxurious teak and rosewood. As an avid supporter of furniture design, Kristiansen also organised many of the large furniture fairs in Denmark during the 1960s. Today, his designs are some of the most highly coveted examples of mid-century furniture to emerge from Denmark.
