Designed: 1956

The PK61 coffee table was designed by Poul Kjrholm in 1956. It has a very simple design: a marble top over a matte chrome steel frame. The original has a marble top but currently it’s available also with a glass top. The legs are on the sides of the corners and not on the corners themselves. It is an austere, heavy table, “functionality focused”. Dimensions: Depth: 90.0cm, Width: 90.00cm, Height: 41.00cm

Pk22

Designer: Poul Kjrholm

Designed: 1956

The PK 22 Easy Chair is an icon for Poul Kjaerholm’s work. Everything is simple and basic at this chair: a simple steel frame with leather covering. It’s allure is more suitable for a conservatory environment which can be softened by the type and color of the leather the user chooses.
Available in wicker or leather and has a satin-brushed stainless steel frame.
“The shape of the PK22 is not new: Mies van der Rohe used it with his Barcelona chair, and others had used it before him. But it’s Kjaerholm’s take on that classical shape that works so well.”
