Fritz Hansen PK54 Table
Design Poul Kjaerholm, 1963
Stainless steel base, marble or granite top
Made in Denmark by Fritz Hansen
The PK54 table is from Fritz Hansen's "Poul Kjaerholm collection". Simple yet distinguished, a typical Kjærholm style in an exclusive and minimalist design. A solid and functional table which seats up to 6 people. PK54 is also available with an optional expansion ring, made of solid wood, and interlocks with the top and with each other without any tools. Once the ring is added, the table seats about 12 people.
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 PK54 is offered with a 1.2" light steel-rolled marble top or 1.2" granite top and rests on a satin brushed stainless steel base in the typical Kjaerholm design. The optional expansion ring is of solid, untreated maple made up of six identical, interlocking sections and comes with matching storage rack.
