The table was first designed for Baker Furniture in America to match the sculptural Baker Sofa. Juhl’s inspiration for the overall design came from the glamour and sophistication of cocktail parties during the booming era of 1950s America. The table has a striking tabletop, crafted from Walnut and glossy white laminate, creating a versatile, stylish design that can seamlessly adapt to a changing interior space. With a unique, soft expression, the table’s organic, rounded shape allows for easy free movement around it, ideal for placing in the centre of a living room in front of a lounge chair or sofa. Also available is the House of Finn Juhl Cocktail Bench.
Finn Juhl was born on the 30th January 1912 in Frederiksberg, Denmark.
Although trained in architecture, it was his modern furniture designs that made him an international name. His first pieces of furniture were designed for his own apartment and were manufactured by the young Danish carpenter, Niels Vodder.
In 1946 Juhl got his first major interior assignment at Bing and Grøndahl’s store at Amagertorv in Copenhagen. This later became one of his main works and was awarded with the Eckersberg Medal in 1947. Soon after, he was given the opportunity to help furnish the new headquarters of the United Nations in NY - something which established his name with the American audience.
He is most famous today for his iconic furniture designs including the Chieftan Armchair and the 108 Dining Chair which are now produced by the House of Finn Juhl.
