Carl Hansen & Søn Writing Desk & Table PK52 Professor Desk

PK52 Desk & Table | Carl Hansen & Son

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.

Simple elegance offering many possibilities.

Poul Kjærholm designed the PK52 Professor Desk when the Academy needed a number of tables for lecturers and students. 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.

Finish

The PK52 is available in two variants. A laminated tabletop that is black on one side and gray on the other.  The table edge is black.
In addition, an oak table top is available that is optionally finished in oil, white oil, lacquer or sprayed black.
Lacquer gives a somewhat shiny appearance and oil a matte look.
The tablesframe is available in black or grey powder coating.

Dimensions

Length 186,5 cm

The storage drawer is optionally available in oak with the various finishes of your choice. The table top will still be reversible when a storage drawer is mounted.
