The Munkegård School Desk exemplifies Jacobsen’s modernist aesthetic and commitment to functionalism. The desk features a minimalist design, characterized by its clean lines and utilitarian form.

The legs, made from tubular steel, extend at an angle to provide stability, and the desk is equipped with a compact storage compartment beneath the tabletop.
