Four pieces of steel meet to form a precise square beneath a sheet of glass, leaving structure, surface and the space between them completely exposed. There is nowhere for a detail to hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKjærholm designed PK61 in 1956, treating the coffee table less like furniture and more like a small piece of architecture. The transparent top allows the steel beneath it to remain visible, while the low proportions bring the entire composition close to the floor. Glass almost disappears. Steel becomes the drawing. What remains is an object of remarkable stillness, quiet enough to live with almost anything around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoul Kjærholm (1929–1980) trained as a cabinetmaker before studying at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen. Yet while many of his contemporaries built the identity of Danish modernism around wood, Kjærholm became fascinated by steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe treated it not as a cold industrial shortcut, but as a material worthy of the same attention traditionally given to timber. Steel, leather, wicker, canvas, glass and stone became parts of a remarkably restrained vocabulary. PK61 is one of the purest expressions of that thinking, reducing the table until material, proportion and construction become almost indistinguishable from the design itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFritz Hansen began in Copenhagen in 1872 and grew from a cabinetmaking workshop into one of the defining manufacturers of Danish modern furniture. Its history became intertwined with some of the most important designers of the 20th century, translating experimental ideas into objects that travelled far beyond Denmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1980s, Fritz Hansen took over the production of Poul Kjærholm's collection, preserving the precision and material sensitivity on which his furniture depends. PK61 remains one of the clearest expressions of that legacy, an object whose apparent simplicity depends on extraordinary control of proportion, material and detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original removable glass top is beautifully preserved in great vintage condition, showing only light traces of age and previous use.

Bronze rises from the floor in irregular, almost geological lines, while thick slabs of cast glass rest above them. The metal looks heavy and ancient. The glass catches light, bubbles and imperfections inside it, as though something liquid had suddenly been frozen in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKlute allowed the process of making to remain visible. Bronze carries the marks of fire and handwork, while no two areas of cast glass behave quite the same way. There is a strange tension between their brutality and delicacy, between something forged and something transparent. Seen together as a pair, the tables feel less like repeated objects than two variations of the same small landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLothar Klute is a German designer and craftsman whose work sits somewhere between furniture, sculpture and metalwork. Rather than concealing the processes behind an object, he allows them to become part of its character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForged bronze and cast glass became central to this language. Both materials are transformed through heat, but retain traces of that transformation afterwards: irregular surfaces, changing textures, bubbles, marks and subtle variations that industrial perfection would normally remove. Klute uses these imperfections deliberately, making each piece feel less manufactured than formed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLothar Klute produced his furniture within his own workshop, keeping design and fabrication unusually close to one another. This allowed forms to develop through the behaviour of the materials themselves rather than existing only as predetermined drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bronze elements are individually worked and finished by hand, while the cast glass develops its own internal patterns during production. As a result, repetition never produces an exact copy. Each table carries small variations that belong specifically to the moment in which it was made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe forged bronze structures and cast glass tops are beautifully preserved in excellent vintage condition.
