A design from the 1950s, a beautifully painted frame unites with walnut wood and black linoleum to form a design that is both playful and sophisticated that can stand the test of time. Designed to adapt to your space, the dining table is defined by special brackets that allow for two drop leaves to hang vertically at both ends, allowing you to easily minimise and maximise your dining environment for changing purposes and occasions. Alternatively, the drop leaves can be removed entirely, for an open-ended, traditional dining table.
A unique design bursting with intricate detail and character, the Nyhavn Dining Table is both a practical piece and an elegant design statement all in one. Part of the House of Finn Juhl Nyhavn collection.
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.
