Kaare Klint

(Danish, 1888–1954)

Kaare Klint was a Danish architect and furniture designer remembered as the father of Modern Danish furniture design. His Safari Chair, Faaborg Chair, and numerous other pieces are recognized for their harmony between materials, form, clean line, and traditional craftsmanship. With a nearly scientific method, Klint studied the dimensions of household objects, related them to society’s demands for functionality, and based his new designs on these studies. Born on December 15, 1888 in Copenhagen, Denmark, he was the son of the architect Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint. Klint went on to study at Jens Møller-Jensen’s furniture school and the Artists’ Studio School under John Rohnde. He founded the Furniture and Spatial Design departments at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, shaping the careers of future designers Poul Kjærholm, Kai Kristiansen, and Børge Mogensen. Upon his father’s death in 1930, Klint assured the completion of his father’s monumental Grundtvig’s Church. The designer died on March 28, 1954 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Klint’s works are in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Cooper Hewitt in New York, the Smithsonian Design Museum in New York, and the Danish Museum of Art and Design in Copenhagen, among others.
