Hay - Copenhague CPH90 Desk

Scandinavian desk with oak base

Danish manufacturer Hay invited designer brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec to create a collection for the re-designed University of Copenhagen (KUA). The result is the Copenhague series, which consists of a chair, a bar stool and various tables. The Copenhague CPH 90 desk is inspired by classic school furniture, but without its seriousness.

Hay and the Bouroullecs have tried to design furniture for an educational institution that, with its form and identity, clearly belongs in our time and meets the needs at a university. That is why the Copenhague desk is very functional, but without becoming too serious in expression.

With their Copenhague desk CPH90, the two designers also wanted to free themselves from the institutional and bureaucratic expression of traditional furniture in learning facilities, and to design objects with greater originality and a more homely feel. Hay manufactures the Copenhague desk in oak, with other variants available on request.
