Originally designed by Finn Juhl for his first studio at the exclusive address of 33 Nyhavn in central Copenhagen in 1945, the simple, minimalist design of the table has truly stood the test of time. With a smooth, black linoleum tabletop and steel frame, elegantly finished with walnut edging and feet, the sophisticated desk creates an uncluttered, spacious working area, ideal for an office space.
Available in two lengths, The Nyhavn Desk embodies a timeless, durable design that can coordinate with home and office spaces for years to come. The Nyavn Desk is also available with a colourful tray unit.
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 Chair and The 108 Chair which are now produced by the House of Finn Juhl.
