Product Information
Description
The Society Desk unites some of design's most iconic movements in one striking product. Originally designed in 1952 by legendary Danish architect Arne Jacobsen, it pairs the expressive simplicity of the Bauhaus with the sculptural refinement of functionalism to create a timeless modern desk. Initially commissioned as a present for the American-Scandinavian society, it has long garnered attention as one of Jacobsen's finest pieces and has been recently brought back into production by luxury Danish brand, Carl Hansen & Son.Need a second opinion?Our design experts can assist with everything from swatches to sizing to pricing. -

Price Promise
Our Price Promise
We know that price is important. And while all of our designs follow the recommended retail prices (RRP) from our suppliers, we’re determined never to be bested.
It’s why we decided to introduce our Chaplins Price Promise. A guarantee to try and match the price of a branded product should you find it on sale at another authorised UK retailer. While the offer only applies to new designs (rather than clearance, outlets or ex-display) it’s our way of showing that we don’t just offer the best in service or style, but are committed to competitive pricing, too.
Please click on the button below should you wish to query a price. If a competitor's offer isn't immediately apparent online, we may ask you to supply us with a written quotation from the retailer — just to confirm the details.
And remember, Chaplins newsletter subscribers get an exclusive first order discount when they sign up. All of the details of which you can find in the footer below.
