by Poul Kjaerholm from Fritz Hansen
poul kjaerholm pk60 table
Design Poul Kjaerholm, 1952
Tempered glass, pressure molded veneer
Made in Germany by Fritz Hansen
Conceived at Fritz Hansen in 1952 together with the PK0 A™ chair, Poul Kjærholm's previously unreleased PK60™ coffee table is a striking tribute to aesthetics and function. Combining talented craftsmanship with innovation, the glass and wood veneer design is a significant piece of mid-century Danish design.
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.
