From the maker
The industrial-yet-elegant profile of Arne Jacobsen’s AJ52 Desk (1952) remains unmatched even after seven decades. Known as the “Society Table,” the slender writing desk features a fine-structured leather top that wraps around a tubular metal frame. A six-drawer unit with recessed handles can be suspended beneath the table on the left or right side.— Design Within Reach
