PK52 Professor Desk | Poul Kjærholm | Carl Hansen & Søn

The PK52 Professor Desk was designed by Poul Kjærholm for the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Versatile and slender, the desk established Kjærholm’s reputation for uniting the best of traditional craftsmanship and industrial design.

Drawing on his cabinetmaking experience, Kjærholm developed a new table structure that showcased his mastery of steel and wood. Metal ferrules separate the steel and wood to lend this desk a dynamic, light look. Furthermore, the tabletop is reversible, allowing the user to work on both sides – or use one side for work and the other for meals or entertaining.

The PK52 Professor Desk is also available in a more compact size as the PK52A Student Desk. An optional drawer in both desks offers elegant storage space, and both can easily double as dining tables.

Available in various materials and colours. Discover the PK52 collection at Carl Hansen & Søn
