PK71 <br />

POUL KJÆRHOLM 1957<br />

The PK71 is comprised of three nesting tables that can be stored<br />

underneath one another. The tables and their continued, threedimensional<br />

form represent the �rst time Kjærholm used the square<br />

in all three dimensions of his work. They can be seen as the<br />

precursor of his larger and more complex tables. The toy-like<br />

character of the small and abstract tables makes them very dynamic<br />

and invites you to move them around. Kjærholm often stacked the<br />

naked frames as sculptural symbols to illustrate the elemental quality<br />

of his other work. The importance of the PK71 is illustrated by the<br />

fact that the tables are included in the permanent collection of the<br />

Museum of Modern Art in New York. The tops are made of either<br />

black, white, red or umbra green acrylic and the square base is in<br />

satin-brushed stainless steel.<br />
