German-Danish Friendship
10/2/2021
The exhibition "Gesamtkunstwerke – Architecture by Arne Jacobsen and Otto Weitling in Germany" shows the influence of Danish architecture in Germany.
The coffee table PK61™ is almost as elementary and minimalistic as it gets from the hand of Poul Kjærholm. Despite the extreme distillation of the structure into a set of identical elements, the square and aesthetic design has the power of a manifesto and shows Kjærholm's development from industrial designer to furniture architect. The four base elements are joined with machine screws that lend the table part of its unique look. The removable tabletop demonstrates Kjærholm's recurring principle of using gravity to keep the elements in place.
