Søren Holst

Educated from The Royal Danish Academy of Art for furniture design. Søren Holst has worked for many Danish architects among others Henning Larsen, Hanne Kjærholm and Vandkunsten. Since 1987 Søren Holst has been teaching at the Danish School of Design, at the institute for Industrial Design.

There is no doubt in Søren Hølst‘s mind: Visual longevity is the most important feature of any piece of furniture; the fact that you can stand looking at it ten years on. The fact that he designed his first pieces of furniture for Fredericia Furniture back in 1984 and that they continue to sell well, particularly in Japan, attests to the fact that this is not merely empty hype. ‘Sled’ he designed for WOODMARK also embodies this concept through the symmetrical proportions and timeless elegance in his works.
