Design Poul Kjaerholm, 1955
Stainless steel with glass,
Made in Denmark by Fritz Hansen, 2011
The PK61 coffee table from Fritz Hansen’s “Poul Kjaerholm collection”. Simple yet distinguished, a typical Kjærholm style in an exclusive and minimalist design. The discrete and elegant PK61 table is suitable for any environment, from lounges and waiting areas to private homes.
Poul Kjærholm had a particular interest in various construction materials; especially steel, which he considered a natural material. He was a trained carpenter who continued studies at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts. He moved on to work at Fritz Hansen, for about a year, where he designed a number of noteworthy chair prototypes. In 1955, Kjærholm started collaborating with manufacturer Ejvind Kold Christensen, which lasted until his death in 1980. In 1982, Fritz Hansen took over the production and sales of “The Kjærholm Collection”, developed from 1951 to 1967, designs, which are logical to the minute detail with an aura of exclusivity.
The PK61A is a larger version of PK61 coming in at 47.2″ w | 47.2″ d | 12.6″ h with an 0.8″ thick glass top on satin stainless steel. It is in very good condition with a small chip as pictured and priced accordingly. We’re hoping to make an appetite wetting offering for someone who can live with the chip or might want to replace the top with stone- it is, after all, a $9k+ table new! $1,295
