Fantastic minimalist dining table pk54 designed by poul kjaerholm and manufactured by ejvind kold christensen in denmark during the 1960s. This exceptional piece blends two geometric shapes, the square and the circle, combining a brushed satin stainless steel base with an extraordinary original and rare flint-rolled cipollini marble top. This particular marble with its green-beige hue and patterns of white and grey, reminiscent of the layers of an onion, hence its italian name 'cipollino', is one of the few original stone tops utilized by ekc for these tables.
this original first edition ekc table is in fully authentic condition, with only minor signs of wear, limited to some small chips around the table's edge.
poul kjaerholm (1929 - 1980), a danish architect and industrial designer, departed from traditional scandinavian furniture making by favoring steel over wood in his designs. Graduating from the copenhagen school of arts and crafts in 1952, he later taught there until 1956 before advancing in academia, eventually becoming a professor in 1976. Kjaerholm developed a distinct artistic ideology early on, emphasizing the interplay between sculptural and architectural elements in his furniture within a given space. His designs are characterized by understated elegance, clean lines and meticulous attention to detail, achieving a balance between functionality and artistic expression.
while his peers predominantly used wood, kjaerholm opted for steel, often combined with other materials like wood, leather, cane or marble. He valued steel not only for its structural properties but also for its ability to interact with light. Collaborating closely with manufacturer ejvind kold christensen, who understood kjaerholm's vision deeply, the duo produced many of his designs until his death in 1980. Fritz hansen has since included a wide selection of his works in their production line. Kjaerholm's work is exhibited in museums worldwide, including the permanent collections of moma in new york and the victoria & albert museum in london. This piece has an attribution mark,
