Grete Jalk

The Danish architect and furniture designer Grete Jalk (1920-2006) studied at the Design School for Women in Copenhagen and at the Kunsthåndværkerskolen under Kaare Klint. In 1953 she founded her own design studio. She became known for her work with laminated plywood, in particular the GJ Chair (1963) for the manufacturer Poul Jeppesen, whose curved form is shaped from a single continuous sheet of plywood and which was added to the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1964 she designed a tubular steel armchair for Fritz Hansen. Her furniture was exhibited in Milan, Amsterdam, London, Berlin and Stuttgart. Besides furniture, Jalk designed textiles for Unika Væv and silverware for Georg Jensen and from 1956 to 1962 and from 1968 to 1974 was editor of the magazine Mobilia.
