PK Mini
CONTRASTING
CLASSIC IN MINI
PK-Mini
consists of two sculptural bowls made of black Nero Marquina marble and white
Volakas marble. The two bowls are related to the PK-600, PK-Bowl and PK-Marble,
which Poul Kjærholm made in 1963. As their predecessors, PK-Mini embraces
contrasts between black and white; between the gracefully curved veins and the
solid stone. It highlights the contrast between the soft shaped interior and
the raw, rugged exterior.
Material: Nero Marquina
marble and Volakas marble
Dimension: L8 W8 H4 cm

Poul Kjærholm |
A purist,
Poul Kjærholm is known for his modern, functionalist furniture, praised for its
understated elegance and clean lines. His uncompromising goal of "making
form a part of function" helps peel away the superfluous, creating a
refined, timeless and utilitarian object. Throughout his tenure, he insisted on structural
clarity and technical quality, emphasizing its application in the design of
everyday objects by celebrating the assembly details and showing the components
of every object– from nails to screws and joints. His furniture quickly
benchmarked Danish design, as did his objects (the PK-Bowl is one of our
favorites!), leading the way in the development of the austere, yet functional
style that would help define this era.
It’s not surprising that his rigor and attention
to detail have won him a place in the permanent collection of the Museum of
Modern Art in New York, the V&A Museum in London and other museum
collections in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Germany. |
