Finn Juhl Furniture

Danish, 1912-1989

Along with Hans Wegner, Arne Jacobsen and Børge Mogensen, Finn Juhl was one of the great masters of mid-20th-century Danish design. Juhl was the first among that group to have his work promoted overseas, bringing the character of the nation’s furnishings — and the inherent principles of grace, craftsmanship and utility on which they were based — to an international audience. A stylistic maverick, Juhl embraced expressive, free-flowing shapes in chair and sofa designs much earlier than his colleagues, yet even his quietest pieces incorporate supple, curving forms that are at once elegant and ergonomic.

As a young man, Juhl hoped to become an art historian, but his father steered him into a more practical course of study in architecture. He began designing furniture in the late 1930s, a discipline in which, despite his education, Juhl was self-taught, and quite proud of the fact. His earliest works, designed in the late 1930s, are perhaps his most idiosyncratic. The influence of contemporary art is clear in Juhl's 1939 Pelican chair: an almost Surrealist take on the classic wing chair. Critics reviled the piece, however; one said it looked like a "tired walrus." Juhl had tempered his creativity by 1945, when the Danish furniture-making firm Niels Vodder began to issue his designs. Yet his now-classic NV 45 armchair still demonstrates panache, with a seat that floats above the chair’s teak frame.

Juhl first exhibited his work in the United States in 1950, championed by Edgar Kaufmann Jr., an influential design critic and scion of America’s most prominent family of modern architecture and design patrons. (Kaufmann’s father commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright’s design of the house “Fallingwater.”) Juhl quickly won a following for such signature designs as the supremely comfortable Chieftan lounge chair, the biomorphic Baker sofa, and the Judas table, a piece ornamented with stylish inlaid silver plaquettes.

As you will see from the offerings on 1stDibs, Finn Juhl’s furniture — as well as his lighting, ceramics, tableware and accessories — has an air of relaxed sophistication and elegance that is unique in the realm of mid-20th-century design.

Dining table ‘Judas’ with extensions designed by Finn Juhl for Niels Vodder
By Finn Juhl
Located in Stockholm, SE
Dining table ‘Judas’ with extensions designed by Finn Juhl for Niels Vodder, Denmark, 1948. Teak and circular silver inlays. Stamped. The 'Judas' table deserves to be seen as the embodiment of fundamental mid-century Danish design principles. It shows exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The oval table top is supported by simplistic legs that taper slightly towards the floor. The ingenuity of this table, however, lies in the way in which it extends. A small groove runs along the underside of the table top’s edge, allowing for an easy grip when extending the length of the table. While the filleted edge serves as a grip, it also makes the solid wood table top appear thinner and more delicate. The surface effortlessly separates for either one or two extension leaves to be added without having to move the legs. The 'Judas' table takes its name from the silver inlays embedded in the top, which symbolise Judas’ betrayal of Jesus for thirty pieces of silver...
