One of the most recognized craftsmen from the modern period in Nordic design is Poul Kjærholm. Kjærholm career spanning 32 years during which he designed and produced several furniture, mostly chairs and tables. Kjaerholm began his career with an apprenticeship with a Danish cabinet-maker, followed by a course in furniture design at Kunsthåndværkerskolen in Copenhagen.

The combination of his skills as a carpenter and the knowledge acquired in the school's industrial design module (which was taught by Jørn Utzon) was clearly shown in the chair, PK25, which was his thesis. The angular aspect of the chair with its curved feet made for a striking silhouette and success followed shortly. PK25 was put into production by E. Kold Christensen, who became a good friend of Kjærholm.

Using functionalism in interior design means that you certify that everything in the home has a specific purpose. Some of Mathsson previous works were considered ugly by those who did not know funktionaliströrelsen.
