Introduction : "Holscher" chair by Poul Kjaerholm
The origin of the name "Holscher"
The "Holscher chair" acquired its name because of the steel tube construction made by the blacksmith Svend Holscher, the father of professor Knud Holscher. Svend Holscher was a blacksmith in the small town of Rødby, his son Knud was a good friend of, and studied together with, Poul Kjærholm.
The chairs were manufactured for friends and for the Kjærholm family. The winding of the flag halyard was done by Hanne and Poul Kjærholm, Knud Holscher and in this case by Holø Bergljot. Once Exhibited by Danish Arts and Crafts Spring Exhibition.
