Will a 34-inch ultrawide fit on a 120 cm desk?
A 34-inch ultrawide fits a 120 cm (47.2 in) desk with about 20 cm of side room, and the 60 cm depth is the limit, so a low-profile wall mount or compact arm is the practical upgrade.
A 120 cm (47.2 in) desk is the compact European standard, and a 34-inch 21:9 ultrawide is about 31.4 inches (80 cm) wide. That leaves roughly 20 cm (7.9 in) of clearance on each side, which is a comfortable fit for one panel with room for speakers or a lamp. The gentle 1500R or 1800R curve pulls the edges slightly toward you, which helps at this width.

How this is calculated
The 120 cm desk is usually 60 cm (23.6 in) deep, which is the binding constraint for a curved ultrawide. The 34-inch native stand consumes about 23-25 cm (9-10 in) of depth, leaving a roughly 50 cm (20 in) keyboard zone and pushing your eyes to about 60 cm (24 in) from the screen. That is on the close side for a 34-inch panel, where the 110 PPI at 1440p stays sharp but the field of view starts to feel wide. Curved European desks often sit against a wall, so a shallow wall-hugging mount is the common fix.
Verdict
A 34-inch 21:9 ultrawide is about 31.4 inches (80 cm) wide against a 120 cm (47.2 in) surface, leaving roughly 20 cm (7.9 in) of clearance per side, a comfortable single-panel fit. The constraint is the 60 cm depth: the native stand consumes 23-25 cm and puts a 34-inch panel at roughly 24 inches (61 cm), the close edge where the 1440p 110 PPI panel fills about as much field of view as most people want. A low-profile wall mount or a compact arm rated for the thin European top pushes the panel back and restores a few inches of viewing distance, which is the move that makes a 120 cm desk livable with a 34-inch ultrawide. Width is not the question here. Depth is.
