Finn Juhl
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.

$8,874 Sale Price / item20% Off - Finn Juhl Small Silver Table in WoodBy Finn JuhlLocated in Barcelona, BarcelonaTable designed by Finn Juhl in 1948, relaunched in 2021. Manufactured by House of Finn Juhl in Denmark. Since 2014, House of Finn Juhl has been manufacturing Finn Juhl's exclusive Silver Table from 1948. The table, which comes both with and without silver in-lays, is arguably one of Finn Juhl's most famous and extravagant designs. It can even be seen in his private residence at Ordrupgaard Museum. It has been nicknamed the "Judas table" because of the 30 sterling silver coins (42 when the table is extended to its full length). What most people do not know is that Finn Juhl not only designed the table in the large version, but also in a more compact size, suitable for apartments or smaller homes. It is this version that House of Finn Juhl has now opted to relaunch. Both sizes of the Silver Table come with two extension leaves and are available with or without silver coins. This model is without silver inlays. The silver table boasts an incredible degree of detail. These details unfold as you step closer. Along the edge, underneath the table, runs a smooth indent. When pulling the table, to extend its dimensions, your hands will naturally grab a hold of this ridge. This is a sensual detail that does not immediately meet the eye - it simply must be experienced. The dividable tabletop smoothly separates without the legs ever moving. The small silver table...Category
