Design Poul Kjaerholm, 1980
Stainless steel, leather
Made in Denmark by Fritz Hansen
PK40 is a unique version of Poul Kjrholm’s square conference table with a leather-covered tabletop and a stainless steel base. The juxtaposition of materials is remarkable, a truly luxury design executed with full attention to detail.
Poul Kjrholm 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, Kjrholm 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 Kjrholm Collection”, developed from 1951 to 1967, designs, which are logical to the minute detail with an aura of exclusivity.
