About Kai Kristiansen:
Kai Kristiansen is a Danish furniture designer best known for his smooth and geometric Mid-Century Modern cabinets, tables, and dining chairs. Working in oak, teak, and rosewood, the designer produced popular, pioneering pieces including the FM Wall Unit, Model 42 Chair, and Model 31 Chair.

Born in 1929 in Denmark, Kristiansen originally trained as a cabinetmaker and went on to study under famed architect and furniture designer Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. The designer opened his own office in Copenhagen in 1955, a space he shared with his contemporary Illum Wikkelsø in the 1970s.

About Askel Kjersgaard:
The furniture factory was founded in 1952 in Odder by master cabinetmaker Aksel Kjersgaard, who, after working for more than 3 years as a naver (travelling craftman) in Europe and Morocco, wanted to try out his own ideas. In 1955, the production of chests of drawers, mirrors and accountant furniture began. In the following years, the furniture factory grew and gained many international customers. See less
