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. The steel frame has been carefully cleaned while retaining its natural patina and subtle marks developed over time. As with any authentic vintage piece, these traces form part of the table's history and individual character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth · 80 cm \/ 31.5 in\u003cbr\u003eDepth · 80 cm \/ 31.5 in\u003cbr\u003eHeight · 32 cm \/ 12.6 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncluded\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coffee table is accompanied by a Back to the Furniture Certificate of Originality, a Back to the Furniture flyer, a Thank You card and a small gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coffee table can be ready to ship within 10-15 workdays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorldwide shipping is available.
