Juul Kristensen (Jens-Juul Kristensen) was a pivotal figure in Danish design, celebrated for his elegant blend of function, simplicity, and craftsmanship. Known for designs like the “Kilin” armchair for Fritz Hansen and the “Diva” lamp for Le Klint, he shaped the aesthetics of modern Scandinavian furniture.
