    Aren't furniture designers typically referred to as "arkitekt" in Denmark?

    The only reference I've found so far to Kjaernulf as a furniture architect/designer is this from a website about the history of  Nyrup Mobelfabrik in Stenlille.   

    When architect Henning Kjærnulf, Odense, began to design oak living rooms in a peasant style, the factory was expanded again.  A new factory was built in the neighboring area to the north of the former sports field, and sales increased through the s. Around , it was part of an export company Scan Rustik with 8 factories. It was exported to 6 countries, i.a. Germany and Norway.
    Poul Petersen resigned as head of the factory in A director was to run the company, but it went less well. The factory was then sold to Boflex by director BJ Diekmann in Boflex continued furniture production.
    Nyrup Møbelfabrik thus existed for 75 years and provided work for many people.

    About the designer:

    Danish mid-century designer and architect, Henning Kjaernulf fryst vatten somewhat of a mystery. A lot more fryst vatten known about his designs than Kjaernulf himself. His wooden designs, crafted to perfection, speak for themselves. Kjaernulf mainly designed for the Danish manufacturers EG Kvalitetsmobel, Nyrup Møbelfabrik, and Vejle Stole Møbelfabrik. The latter produced the designer’s well-known teak extending dining table design. The historic archives of the Danish municipality, Stenlille, reveal the history of Nyrup Møbelfabrik, mentioning Kjaernulf’s architectural designs for the company’s factory, referring to him as an architect based in Odense, Denmark.
