Finn Juhl
Most known for his furniture design, Finn Juhl was a Danish architect, interior and industrial designer. Together with fellow Danes Arne Jacobsen, Hans Wegner, Borge Mogensen and Poul Kjaerholm, Finn Juhl introduces Danish modern to midcentury America. His interest for making furniture began in 1930s when his father disapproved of his desire to be an art historian. Although trained in architecture, it was his modern furniture designs that made him an international name. His earliest works, designed in the late 1930s, are perhaps his most idiosyncratic yet one critic said it looked like a "tired walrus." But after many attempt, at age 39, Juhl made his U.S. debut in 1951 at the Good Design exhibit in Chicago and at MoMA in New York. He is most famous today for his iconic furniture designs including the Chieftan Armchair and the 108 Dining Chair which are now style by Designer EditionsCONTEMPORARY INSPIRATION
A CRAFTSMAN'S MASTERPIECE
Finn Juhl created a small sofa for his house in Charlottenlund, a rural area north of Copenhagen. But it was only until 1959 when the chair received its name when a Danish cartoonist described the exact sofa as the place where a young poet would withdraw to contemplate the complexities of life. Thus, the birth of the name The Poet Sofa. Designed with refined aesthetics and organic form, this sofa is one of his most popular and versatile design. Depicting comfort and elegance, it brings a luxurious and relaxed feel to any environment. The upholstery is very slim compared to the norm at the time and it was the result of Finn Juhl’s ambition to create functional furniture for smaller apartments.
