Object is defined in one sense as “a material thing that can be seen and touched.” The object is physical: big, small, square, round, straight, curving, hard, soft, heavy, light… there are very many possibilities. From ceramics to lighting and seating to storage, objects have a role to play in our everyday. In Danish design, objects are often imbued with a sense of place, their presence both practical and aesthetic.PK-MarbleWhen Poul Kjærholm designed the Fredericia Town Hall in 1963, he added a 250kg black marble bowl to the interior: the PK-600. The bowl garnered a great deal of public attention and affection. As a consequence, Kjærholm designed a smaller PK-Bowl in granite that people could own for themselves. Today, the PK-600 and PK-Bowl are made by ARCHITECTMADE. Recently, this Danish venture launched PK-Marble, a little brother to Kjærholm’s much larger PK-600. An elegant piece, the PK-Marble is made in the same Nero Marquina marble as its bigger sibling. The bowl’s smooth concave interior is the perfect contrast to its raw, cuboid exterior. A unique object, just 300 editions of the PK-Marble will be produced annually.RELATED: 20 Nordic Lights To Ward Off Winter?s ChillPK-Marble from ARCHITECTMADE.PK-Marble from ARCHITECTMADE.Images courtesy of ARCHITECTMADE.ObjectsIn the spring of this year, Republic of Fritz Hansen launched a choice collection of new objects.
