Kold Christensen Denmark, 1955 Porsgrunn marble, matte chrome-plated steel 31½ w x 31½ d x 13 h in (80 x 80 x 33 cm)
The Porsgruun marble in Kjaerholm's table designs illustrates a refined application of a rare, natural material. Kjaerholm utilized only a handful of materials that together achieved his desire to encapsulate the natural within ordered, architectural forms. The Porsgruun marble Kjaerholm used was mined in Norway for a short time, and is no longer available because of a mine collapse. The finest stones display contrasting areas of light and dark stone infused with fossils. Signed with impressed manufacturer's mark to frame. literature: E. Kold Christensen manufacturer's catalog , 1964, unpaginated Poul Kjaerholm , Harlang, ppg. 86-87, 175 Poul Kjaerholm , Sheridan, pg. 138 more
