當斯堪地那維亞的同時代設計師們多以木材創作時，Poul Kjærholm 卻選擇了鋼材與石材——這項材質選擇或許解釋了為何他的家具作品最忠實的觀眾不在哥本哈根，而是在日本，因為結構性的嚴謹與克制早已是當地語系化的語言。這本專著透過一個獨特且具啟發性的視角來探討他的作品：日本收藏家 Noritsugu Oda 的私人收藏，他專注於椅子，並以單一目標的專注力耗費多年時間蒐集 Kjærholm 的家具。約五十件作品，連同檔案圖紙與照片，追溯了 Kjærholm 從早期師從 Hans J. Wegner 到五十一歲辭世的職業生涯。
內文主要為日文——這會讓部分讀者卻步，但也會讓其他人確認自己來對了地方。圖紙在任何語言中都經得起考驗。
日本以外地區難以尋得。

I've always admired how he bent steel into those impossibly thin frames, and this collection finally shows the stone tabletops in proper detail. The photography of the gauge and joinery is sharp enough that I noticed details I'd missed seeing them in person.
I'd only ever seen these pieces in wood before, so the chapter on his steel and stone work was a genuine revelation. The printing quality is excellent too, and it sits nicely on my coffee table without dominating the room.
I've owned a few Scandinavian design books and this is the first one that actually explains why he chose steel and stone instead of wood. The chapter on the PK22 alone made the purchase worth it.
