Poul Kjærholm was a Danish designer and architect who is known for his contributions to modern furniture design. Kjærholm was born in 1929 in Denmark and studied at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen. He worked as an apprentice to the architect and designer Arne Jacobsen before establishing his own design studio in 1955.

The Furniture of Poul Kjaerholm: Catalogue Raisonne is the comprehensive and definitive reference book. This volume includes 70 entries that document, analyze and describe all of Kjaerholm's realized designs. The entries include furniture dimensions and information about materials, as well as a wealth of drawings and vintage photographs. The book was compiled with the assistance of the Kjaerholm family and includes a foreword by Hanne Kjaerholm. It was designed by Takaaki Matsumoto, one of the most respected designers of art books in the world. Printed entirely in black-and-white duotone, the many archival photographs in the book are reproduced in the finest quality.

Kjærholm is best known for his furniture designs, which are characterized by their clean, minimalist lines and use of high-quality materials such as steel, leather, and marble. He was particularly interested in the intersection of craftsmanship and industrial production, and many of his designs were produced in small quantities by hand. Kjærholm's work has been widely exhibited and is held in the collections of major museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. He died in 1980
