Presenting an iconic masterpiece by the renowned furniture architect Poul Kjaerholm, the model PK61 coffee table, manufactured by Ejvind Kold Christensen in Denmark, 1956. This design is celebrated for its minimalistic elegance, featuring a matte chrome-plated steel frame that supports a rare and exquisite Greenland marble top with beautiful grain patterns. The marble top, one of only five original stone tops used by Kold Christensen for these tables, remains in superb, fully original condition with minimal surface wear, adding to its unique character. The steel frame, known for its durability and sleek aesthetic, is in very good vintage condition, displaying only minor wear consistent with its age. The frame also proudly bears the EKC Denmark logo impressed on one leg, a mark of its authenticity and heritage.
Designed to complement Kjaerholm’s PK22 lounge chair, the PK61 coffee table was conceived as a manifesto of his design philosophy. The table’s structure consists of four welded steel elements joined with machine screws, creating a pinwheel-like base that forms a sturdy, visually striking square. The non-reflective finish of both the stone top and the steel frame enhances the table’s cohesive, self-contained look. This timeless piece is a perfect blend of form and function, making it a versatile addition to any modern home or interior. The PK61 coffee table is not just a piece of furniture; it is a testament to Kjaerholm’s visionary design, offering both visual appeal and structural stability. An essential for collectors and design enthusiasts, this table remains a definitive classic in the world of modern furniture.
