At ninety-two years old, Danish furniture designer Kai Kristiansen is still at it, practicing the same methods as he did in the 1950s when he set up his design studio. In collaboration with numerous Danish furniture manufacturers, Kristiansen has conceived significant and well-crafted products which remain popular today. Despite this, very little has been written about him. A modest and pragmatic character, Kristiansen has always focused on his work, above all else. Looking back at his life and career, he now tells his own story, sharing his approach, experiences, and visions. This publication is the first monograph on Kristiansens work.

Danish author and editor Sisse Bro writes about craftsmanship, design, and architecture. Based in Brussels (BE), she reaches out to an international audience, curious about the values and assets of cultural heritage as well as contemporary advancements and issues in the design field.
