With the PK71 and their continuous three-dimensional shape, Poul Kjaerholm showed the square in all three dimensions in his work for the first time.
These nesting tables are made of brushed steel and have an acrylic top.
These tables are a first production.
They are seen as a precursor to his larger and more complex tables.
Today, the PK71 are displayed in a permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
