As one of Fritz Hansen’s most iconic pieces, the PK61 has been selected to celebrate the Danish brand’s 150th year. With a distinctive Norwegian marble, the impressive and remarkable material provides a characterful and stylish addition to the piece. Sourced from Fauske, near the Arctic Circle, the marble selected bears a strong resemblance to the original Porsgrunn marble preferred by Poul Kjærholm, making it the perfect composition for the striking anniversary edition.
Poul Kjaerholm was a trained carpenter and continued his studies at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts. He had a particular interest in different construction materials; especially steel which he considered a natural material with the same artistic fineness as other natural materials.
