Furniture Designers Like Kaare Klint Makes Perfect Furniture Design
Of all the furniture designers that emerged from Denmark during the 20th century, Kaare Klint was the only one that was born the century before. Born in 1888, the son of P.V. Jensen Klint, an eminent architect of the early 20th century, the younger Kaare Klint worked first as an architect before moving on to furniture design. In 1924 he founded the Danish Academy of Art and became the first professor the school ever had in furniture. He was also the first lecturer in Furniture Design at Copenhagen's Royal Academy of Fine Arts.
As a professor and lecturer, Kaare Klint had a huge hand in shaping many of the most well known furniture designers to come out of Denmark. He was a mentor and collaborator of Finn Juhl, whose own style was completely opposite of Kaare Klint with the exception of Shaker furniture, which both men admired greatly. Instead of embracing the modernism movement like many of his contemporaries out of France and Germany, Kaare Klint went back to the simple and elegant designs that had worked for generations. He found inspiration in Chippendale, Biedermeier, Far Eastern style, and, of course, American Shaker. His furniture, designed in the classic style but with proportion studies thrown in, fit in the everyday lives of both Danish and international homes.
Kaare Klint encouraged himself and his students to study the styles of the past and learn from them, making it a point to truly see how the pieces were constructed and how they didn't lose their functionality. He studied drawings of human requirements for sitting comfortably while being supported and how the functions of the human body worked and then designed furniture around that study, keeping them beautiful without losing their function. A perfect example of this ideal is the 1933 teak deck chair he designed, retaining functionality, providing the maximum amount of comfort possible and remaining a clean, elegant piece. Kaare Klint was a leading expert on ergonomics during his time, and quite possibly the first expert on it.
His pieces had to show the highest quality craftsmanship and he preferred the aesthetic look wood gave to a piece, completing it in his eyes. It didn't matter what he designed. Each piece was to serve a function. Many of his pieces were based on English furniture from the 1700s, Shaker prototypes, and pieces from Southern Europe. He made them modern by refashioning the entire object and then simplifying it to make a truly unique and modern piece of furniture. He used the services of cabinet maker Rudolf Rasmussen who worked with mahogany, a favorite medium of Kaare Klint's. Kaare Klint liked the way it looked and how it could be shaped. Additionally, he made sure every small detail of the piece was perfect, from the brass fittings to the hand-woven coverings and leather.
Kaare Klint demanded that each of his designs be made to the highest quality level possible. Prior to his death in 1954, he designed pieces of the Museum of Decorative Art in Copenhagen, the Faaborrg Art Museum, and the Bethlehem Church in Copenhagen.

[1] Frederick VII
Frederick VII (Frederik Carl Christian) (6 October 1808 – 15 November 1863) was King of Denmark. He reigned from 1848 until his death. He was the last Danish monarch of the older Royal branch of the House of Oldenburg, and also the last king of Denmark to rule as an absolute monarch. During his rule, he signed a constitution that gave Denmark a parliament and made the country a constitutional monarchy.
Frederick VII managed to make himself one of the most beloved of the Danish Kings of recent times. This was probably due to his giving up absolutism but also to his personality. In spite of many weaknesses confirmed by his contemporaries — drinking, eccentric behavior, etc. — he also possessed something of a gift as an actor. He could be both folksy and genuinely hearty, being able to appear as a ”simple, yet dignified monarch”. During his many travels throughout Denmark he cultivated his contacts with the common man.
[2] Father for Frederick VII
His unfortunate first marriage at Ludwigslust on 21 June 1806 with his cousin Charlotte Frederica of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (Ludwigslust, 4 December 1784 – Rome, 13 July 1840) was dissolved by divorce in 1810. She was a daughter of Friedrich Franz I, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Princess Louise of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. His only surviving son from this marriage would become Frederick VII of Denmark. His first born son was Christian Frederik, who was born and died at Schloss Plön on 8 April 1807.
[3] Wife #1 for Father for Frederick VII
Charlotte Frederica of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (Ludwiglust, December 4, 1784 – Rome, July 13, 1840), was the first wife of King Christian VIII from 1806 until 1810, before he became King of Denmark.
[4] Wife #2 for Father for Frederick VII
Caroline Amalia became a widow in 1848, and survived her spouse for more than thirty years, dying in 1881, without issue. Her remains lie on the Roskilde Cathedral next to her husband.
