Henning Kjaernulf (1911–1975), also known as Henry Kjærnulf, was a Danish designer and architect. His influence on Danish design is well-documented, but little is known about his personal life.

Kjaernulf studied carpentry and design at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, equipping him with the skills to craft meticulously detailed wooden furniture. In 1955, he changed his name to Henry Kjærnulf, but he remains widely known by his professional name, Henning Kjærnulf.

Kjaernulf began his design career at various Danish furniture companies, including Bruno Hansen, Poul Hundevad, and Vejen Møbelfabrik. He was particularly influenced by American modern design, which emphasized simplicity and functionality.

During his career, Kjaernulf created many famous designs, including the Model 71 dining chair and the Model 68 dining table for Bruno Hansen. He especially liked to work with natural materials such as wood and leather. A combination of sculptural forms, organic curves, and clean lines is what characterizes his work.

Among his most iconic creations is the “Razorblade” chair, produced in the 1960s by EG Kvalitetsmöbel. This chair features a distinctive backrest shaped like a razor blade. His works often showcase a harmonious blend of sculpted edges and functional design, perfectly reflecting the principles of Danish modernism.

His designs continue to be highly regarded and sought after in the design community. Yet, despite his significant impact on Danish design, much of Kjaernulf’s personal life remains enigmatic.
