Fritz Hansen PK58 Table
Design Poul Kjaerholm, 1963
Aluminum, polyester composite
Made in Denmark by Fritz Hansen
The PK58 - is part of Fritz Hansen's "Poul Kjaerholm collection". This table is inspired by and based on Poul Kjærholm's table from 1963, PK54, but the PK58 has never been in production before. The design differs in height and choice of materials. The surface feels "stone-like" yet soft. The material is sturdy, smooth and easy to maintain. The frame has been anodized to protect against scratches and to prevent the material from becoming grey and dull.. This versatile table is suitable for any environment, from lounges and waiting areas to private homes. The PK58 is a fine choice together with a great variety of chairs, but is best matched with the PK8 chair.
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 table top is made of a white polyester composite, and the base is anodized satin brushed aluminum.
51.2" dia. | 28" h | 1" thick top
