PK61™ anniversary edition from Fritz Hansen

The PK61™ coffee table is one of Poul Kjærholm's most elemental and minimalist creations. Although the construction is limited to a set of identical components, the angular, aesthetic design has programmatic appeal and demonstrates that Kjærholm has evolved from an industrial designer to a furniture designer. The four frame components are screwed together and contribute to the unique look of the table. The removable table top again shows that Kjærholm uses gravity to position components.

The anniversary collection is a careful selection of the most legendary Fritz Hansen designs. To celebrate our 150th anniversary, we are launching the PK61™ in a new Norwegian marble that bears a striking resemblance to the original material chosen by Poul Kjærholm. The grey-white Norwegian marble comes from Fauske, near the Arctic Circle. This particular stone was chosen for its striking similarity to the Porsgrunn marble originally favoured by Poul Kjærholm, which unfortunately is no longer available. The marble surface is rolled and shows a beautiful wave structure. Each piece is unique and is characterised by charming mineral inclusions that shimmer in gold or silver nuances depending on the incidence of light.
