Johansen Desk
One of our very favourite pieces amongst the Great Dane showrooms, Mads Johansen's eponymous table is also one of the most versatile. His obsession with suspension bridges and engineering provided the catalyst to design the table as part of his final year apprenticeship. Careful consideration is given to every plank of wood selected in the creation of a Johansen table, to create a seamless flow of grain. The only person responsible for this task is master craftsman Erik Skovgaard, a man who proudly possesses a silver medal for cabinetry - awarded to only one person in Denmark each year. Erik's attention to detail is therefore second to none, and a key reason why the Johansen table is such an icon. The desk's elegant curves draw inspiration from Denmark's many suspension bridges; a clear interpretation of the environment Mads grew up in. The only Johansen variant to possess drawers, the desk's shape gives an added subtlety to the lines of the table and is available in 1500mm and can be requested in 1200mm which has one drawer. The Johansen is a table to be loved and used. It inspires a lifetime of memories and it's impossible not to be in awe of the craftsmanship inherent in such an iconic design.
