Enduring elegance meets industrial aesthetics
A timeless example of the Danish architect’s functionalist approach to design, Arne Jacobsen’s AJ52 Society Table was conceived in 1952, at the peak of his career. Jacobsen harnessed new techniques and materials to create the slender writing desk, which features a fine-structured leather top that wraps tightly around a tubular metal frame. A conical desk lamp in brushed stainless steel is a seamless extension of the design, as is the glass-fronted, wood-and-veneer letter compartment. Beneath the table, a six-drawer unit, also in wood and veneer, is suspended from fine metal tubes – a feature that, together with the slim frame and solid-wood feet, contributes to the desk’s air of lightness. The AJ52 Society Table is available in two sizes, and with or without the tabletop compartment and desk lamp. The six-drawer unit can be mounted beneath the left or righthand side of the table; choose from solid oak, walnut or black-painted oak drawers and matching feet.

Enduring elegance meets industrial aesthetics
Arne Jacobsens var på toppen af sin karriere, da han i 1952 tegnede AJ52 Society Table skrivebordet, der er et overbevisende eksempel på den danske arkitekts funktionalistiske tilgang til design. Jacobsen brugte nye teknikker og materialer til at skabe det slanke skrivebord, hvis bordplade er betrukket med fint læder, der er trukket elegant om rammens metalrør.
Den kegleformede skrivebordslampe i børstet stål er perfekt integreret i designet sammen med bordhylden i finér med glassider. Under bordet findes et modul i finer med seks skuffer monteres med fine metalrør – et element, der sammen med rammen og fødderne i massivt træ giver bordet et let, næsten svævende udtryk.
AJ52 Society Table fås i to størrelser med valgfri bordhylde og lampe. Dette er det største af bordene, der måler 140 x 70 cm. Modulet med seks skuffer kan frit monteres under højre eller venstre side af bordet og fås i massiv eg, valnød eller sortbejdset eg med matchende skuffer og fødder.
