The AJ52 Society Desk was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1952 for the American-Scandinavian Foundation's new office in New York. It has now been re-issued by Carl Hansen and is a firm favourite of discerning design enthusiasts. It is a distinctive piece of design featuring a desk, lamp, table shelf and drawers in one seemingly floating piece. It brilliantly showcases Jacobsen's ability to make the complex appear simple. A beautiful leather top that opens at the corners to expose the legs is a sublime detail. Already a Design Classic this is a sophisticated, modern and elegant work desk perfect for the home or office. The AJ52 Society Table is available in two sizes and the six-drawer unit can be mounted on either side of the desk. The shelf and integrated lamp are optional.
