The ingenious AB019 Wall Desk with Drawer, masterfully crafted by Danish designer Anker Bak for Carl Hansen & Son, represents the perfect confluence of minimalist aesthetics and practical functionality for today's space-conscious living environments. Drawing profound inspiration from his immersive experiences with Japanese tiny-home design principles, Bak has created a wall-mounted workspace solution that embodies the essence of "less is more" while delivering exceptional utility for home offices, urban apartments, and multifunctional rooms.
The desk's harmonious expression begins with its slim, carefully proportioned tabletop, available in either premium FSC-certified oak veneer or durable laminate, both featuring softly rounded edges that create a welcoming tactile experience during extended work sessions. This floating surface is elegantly supported by precision-engineered stainless steel wall mounts that provide robust stability while maintaining the desk's airy, unobtrusive presence in your space.
What truly distinguishes the AB019 Wall Desk w/ Drawer configuration is its thoughtfully integrated storage solution—a perfectly proportioned drawer that slides effortlessly beneath the desktop, providing essential organization for office supplies, digital devices, and work accessories without compromising the design's clean lines and architectural simplicity. This integration exemplifies Bak's human-centric design philosophy, addressing real-world needs with beautiful, thoughtful solutions.
As a certified cabinetmaker who earned a silver medal for his custom boat fittings, Anker Bak brings exceptional craftsmanship sensibilities to every aspect of the AB019's construction. His international perspective—shaped by work experiences in Japan, Finland, China, and Hawaii—infuses the desk with a global design intelligence that transcends trends while honoring Danish furniture traditions pioneered by masters like Hans J. Wegner and Børge Mogensen.
Delivered flat-packed for convenient shipping and straightforward assembly, the AB019 Wall Desk with Drawer exemplifies Bak's award-winning approach (recipient of the Wegner Prize, Joinery Award, and Danish Designer of the Year) to creating enduring furniture that elegantly solves contemporary challenges for compact living, home workspaces, and multifunctional interiors.
