The AJ52 Society Table by Carl Hansen & Søn is embellished with the signature of one of the great names in Danish design, Arne Jacobsen, who originally designed it in 1952 for the New York offices of the American-Scandinavian Foundation. Unmistakably Mid-Century, the AJ52 desk combines Bauhaus influences (such as the slender tubular legs) with the Nordic taste for natural materials, found in the wood of the chest of drawers. A small touch of luxury and elegance is instead the leather covering of the top, to which an optional module with a small wooden display and a lamp with a conical diffuser can be added.

Carl Hansen & Søn was founded in 1908 on the Danish island of Funen, under the aegis of the eponymous cabinetmaker Carl Hansen. Since its foundation, the small cabinetmaking workshop has experienced rapid success due to the high quality craftsmanship of its furniture as well as the foresight of its founder, responsible for the establishment of many fruitful collaborations with world-renowned designers.The growth of Carl Hansen & Son was deeply influenced by the long-term collaboration with one of the greatest designers of all time: Hans J. Wegner. This creative synergy began in 1949, when Holger Hansen, son of Carl Hansen, attempted the fate with the unknown designer. From that moment,Wegner designed a series of successful furniture, including the now iconic Wishbone Chair.Read more
Designed by
Arne Jacobsen
Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) was one of the immortal founding fathers of great post-war Danish design. His sober approach to modernism, typically punctuated, conditioned all the generations of designers that followed and laid the foundations for a style appreciated all over the world. He always considered himself first of all as an architect: his products were in fact created for a specific project, and only later destined for mass production. His most famous project was the creation of the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, of which he took care not only of the architecture, but also of every detail of the interior design, personally designing the furnishings, lamps and even cutlery. It was on this occasion that products such as the Egg armchair were created, perhaps the most famous and iconic seat of all time, still made today by Fritz Hansen, or the AJ lamp, later a great bestseller for the Louis Poulsen company. He also experimented with the design of everyday objects, for brands such as Georg Jensen and Stelton, but also and above all of chairs. The models made with Fritz Hansen revolutionized the design of the modern chair; according to his former collaborator Knud Holscher Jacobsen "he designed the chairs as Matisse painted the pictures - freely and with pleasure".Read more
