Even from a very young age, accompanying his father in his carpentry workshop, Knud Færch was heavily influenced by wood as a natural material and the aesthetic effects of design. This fascination led Færch to study interior design, which eventually led to a landmark meeting with the highly influential Finn Juhl. The prolific Danish architect taught furniture design and inspired Knud Færch to forge his own flourishing career as a furniture designer in the 1950s and 1960s.
