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

the table impresses with its clear geometry and the typically reduced formal language for which kjærholm is known. The tabletop is a precisely crafted square made of plywood, covered with a fine maple veneer patterned in a subtle diagonal pattern. The edges are cleanly beveled, emphasizing the graphic clarity of the surface.

the four inward-set legs, made of multi-layered, mold-glued plywood, are characteristic. They are attached centrally to the sides of the tabletop and have a gently rounded design. This solution not only gives the table great stability, but also makes the square appear almost floating – a design principle that kjærholm often pursued in his furniture: maximum impact with minimal material presence.

the table reflects kjærholm's pursuit of material justice and constructive elegance – even though, unlike many of his steel furniture pieces, this model is made entirely of wood. It is precisely this exception that makes the pk66 particularly exciting, as it reveals his deep connection to craftsmanship and wood as a material. The construction is visibly screwed together, yet the craftsmanship is very precise.

condition: the table is in very good condition with only minimal, superficial signs of wear on the tabletop, such as light scratches that occur with normal use. The veneer shows a uniform patina with no significant discoloration or damage. The legs are stable and firmly mounted, and the edges are intact throughout. An excellently preserved table with high collector's value.
