Story
The smaller version of the PK51
Fritz Hansen says the PK55™ was launched as a smaller version of the PK51™, the worktable that had come out first together with the PK11™ chair.
Handcrafted in 1957
On the page the PK55™ is called an iconic rectangular worktable, handcrafted by Poul Kjærholm in 1957. The sheet gives the same year and shows the table in the company of the larger PK51™ on one drawing sheet.
