PK52 PROFESSOR DESK
PK52A STUDENT DESK
The PK52 Professor Desk and the PK52A Student Desk, designed for
the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, established Poul Kjærholm’s
reputation for uniting the best of traditional craftsmanship and
industrial design. The Academy needed tables for lecturers and
students, and Kjærholm, who had recently joined the academic staff,
designed a pair of bespoke tables for the occasion. Based on his
cabinetmaking experience, Kjærholm developed a new table structure
showcasing his steel and wood mastery. Metal ferrules separate the
steel and wood to lend these desks a dynamic, light appearance and
highlight his signature ability to unite traditional craftsmanship and
industrial design.
Simple,
geometric
elegance
In 2007, Strand & Hvass set out to design a table that would pay tribute to previous masters while
exploring new forms and structural directions. The resulting SH900 Extend Table represents a new
era of modern Danish design with its minimalist, visually engaging composition and integration of new
structural possibilities. The table features solid and clean lines and a perfect pairing of style and stability.
Perhaps most importantly, the Extend Table simplifies table extension to an unprecedented degree, with
a cleverly hidden foldout system providing easy access to built-in extension leaves in a bold, modern
black finish.
