PK52 Professor Table by Poul Kjærholm, 1960

About This Piece

Vintage Design

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 cabinet making 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. This table has a grey coated steel frame with Oregon pine top. Condition Good, age related wear and marks.
