The sofa was inspired by a prototype, designed by master joiner, Niels Vodder who worked for Finn Juhl, gifted to his daughter, Kirsten Vodder and her husband, poet Frank Jæger. Close friend of the family and illustrator Jørgen Mogensen spent a lot of time at their house, eventually inspiring him to create the comic strip, 'The Poet and the Little Mother'. A stunning, sculptural design that invites you to be comforted by its curvaceous embrace, the two-seater sofa's organic design is utterly timeless. Available in a choice of two colourways, finished with elegant walnut legs, the sophisticated, soft design is just as much at home in a contemporary living room as a large hotel lobby. Also available in a three-seater version.
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.
