Originally designed in 1948 as a commission for a well-known Danish law professor, the Ross coffee table is defined by its rounded tabletop that smoothly curves in and out at various points, forming an elegant, distinctive shape. Crafted from walnut and stainless steel and finished with a striking steel inlay that houses both a purposeful and decorative vase, the timeless design of the Ross is perfect for positioning in front of a sofa in a living room. With its unique geometric composition, a Finn Juhl design that will stand the test of time.
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.
