Description:
Grete Juel Jalk was a Danish furniture designer, cabinetmaker, and co-editor of the Danish magazine Mobilia.
Grete Jalk began her career at the Kunstindustriskolen for Kvinder (School of Applied Arts for Women) and subsequently trained as a cabinetmaker. From 1946, she attended the Danish Design School (Danmarks Designskole) and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, where she studied under Kaare Klint.
Inspired by the laminated and bent plywood designs of Alvar Aalto and Charles Eames, Grete Jalk opened her own studio in 1953. Grete Jalk designed furniture for renowned manufacturers such as Fritz Hansen, Poul Jeppesen, Glostrup, and France & Søn. Her anthropometric and minimalist designs quickly gained international acclaim. The She Chair, designed in 1963, was added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York that same year. In the 1970s, Grete Jalk worked for the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for which she curated a traveling exhibition on Danish design. In 1990, she received the Statens Kunstfonds (National Arts Fund) Prize.
Following Jack's death in 2006, the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen established the Grete Jalk Legacy, a scholarship for promising students of furniture design.
