He trained as a cabinet-maker and following graduation in 1948 went on to Danish Academy of Fine Arts, under tutorage of Kaare Klint. Thereafter he opened his own office and worked for a host of respected furniture manufacturers including Fritz Hansen and Magnus Olesen. His designs for shelving and case furniture utilised a geometric relationship inspired by Klint’s work, and his seating designs, such as the No.42 chair, captured the spirit of Denmark’s, post-war golden period of design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rosewood desk produced by Preben Schou Anderson displays a simple and timeless outline. The arrangement of twin pedestals and shadow-gap delineation between drawers and top creates a striking elevation. The use of inset aluminium drawer pulls and sabots on the legs create a very individual and reflect the high quality cabinet-making employed in the manufacture of the desk. The desk is veneered all round and the rear-side has open storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e 155w x 75d x 72cmh\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":null,"offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20769673609327,"sku":"991108","price":3400.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0032\/4966\/8207\/products\/kai_desk_01.jpg?v=1571711859","url":"https:\/\/www.twentytwentyone.mom\/products\/kai-kristiansen-desk-1960","provider":"twentytwentyone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
