The coffee table PK61™ is almost as elementary and minimalist as it gets from the hand of Poul Kjærholm.
Despite the extreme distillation of the structure into a set of identical elements, the square and aesthetic design
has the power of a manifesto and shows Kjærholm’s development from industrial designer to furniture architect.
The PK61A™ is an enlarged version of Poul Kjærholm’s PK61™ coffee table.

Poul Kjærholm, 1956
DESIGNER
Poul Kjærholm was a trained cabinet maker and
continued his studies at the Danish School of Arts and
Crafts in Copenhagen. He had a particular interest in
different construction materials, especially steel, which
he considered a natural material with the same artistic
fineness as other natural materials.
Poul Kjærholm was first employed at Fritz Hansen for
about a year, where he designed a number of noteworthy
chair prototypes. In 1955, Poul Kjærholm initiated his
collaboration with manufacturer Ejvind Kold Christensen,
which lasted until Kjærholm’s death in 1980. In 1982,
Fritz Hansen took over the manufacture and sales of
“The Kjærholm Collection”, which was developed over the
period 1951 to 1967.

MATERIAL
Tabletop: The PK61™ coffee table comes with a tabletop in
4 different materials: Slate, marble, granite and glass. The
PK61A™ coffee table comes with a tabletop in 3 different
materials: Marble, granite and glass. The marble comes in
two variants: as a rolled or honed marble.
Base: The base for both tables is made of satin brushed
stainless steel. The four base elements are joined with
machine screws that lend the table part of its unique look.
The removable tabletop demonstrates Kjærholm’s recurring
principle of using gravity to keep the elements in place.
