Kold christensen. This model was produced for only a very short period—from approximately 1972 to 1974—and is now one of the rarest collector’s items from kjærholm’s oeuvre.

the table captivates with its clean geometry and the typically minimalist design language for which kjærholm is known. The tabletop is a precisely crafted square made of laminated wood, covered with a fine maple veneer featuring a subtle diagonal pattern. The edges are cleanly chamfered, emphasizing the graphic clarity of the surface.

a distinctive feature is the four inward-set legs, which are made of multi-layered, molded laminated wood. Each leg is positioned centrally on the sides of the tabletop and features a gently rounded profile. This design not only lends the table great stability but also makes the square appear to almost float—a design principle kjærholm often pursued in his furniture: maximum impact with minimal use of material.

the table reflects kjærholm’s pursuit of material integrity and structural elegance—even though, unlike many of his steel pieces, this model is made entirely of wood. It is precisely this exception that makes the pk66 particularly fascinating, as it reveals his deep connection to craftsmanship and the material wood. The construction is visibly screwed together, yet executed with great precision.

condition: the table is in very good condition with only minimal, superficial signs of wear on the tabletop, such as light scratches resulting from normal use. The veneer shows an even patina without any significant discoloration or damage. The legs are stable and securely mounted, and the edges are intact throughout. An exceptionally well-preserved table with high collector’s value.
