Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971), a Danish architect and designer, left an indelible mark on architecture and furniture design with his dedication to simplicity, functionality and beauty. Jacobsen's mastery is epitomized by the Egg Chair and the Swan Chair, both designed for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, which showcase his innovative use of organic forms. Symbolizing Danish modernism, his pieces reflect Jacobsen's genius in integrating form and function and solidify his legacy as a forefront in the world of design. His work defined an era and he served as a pivotal figure in 20th-century Scandinavian design.

In 1952, Arne Jacobsen was tasked with designing an interior for the Office of the American-Scandinavian Foundation in New York. The furniture was a gift from the shipbuilding company Burmeister & Wain, and the pieces were made by Rud. Rasmussen Cabinetmakers. Included in this interior was a desk basically identical to the present desk, but with a different surface. The pieces never went into serial production, but with minor variations a few desks were made, apparently for friends or family of Arne Jacobsen.
