For reasons that have always escaped us Finn Juhl remains one of the forgotten men of Danish design.
Or maybe we just move in the wrong circles.
Either way we were delighted when last year Onecollection re-issued Finn Juhl's 1951 "Baker Sofa" and are even more pleased that they have now re-introduced the matching Cocktail coffee table.
Because it is just delightful.
In addition Onecollection have also re-issued a Finn Juhl desk, Nyhavn; so-called because Juhl used such desks in his office at Nyhavn 33, Copenhagen
What we especially like about the Nyhavn desk is that the combination wood/metal is not reserved for solely the legs in metal and the top in wood: but the legs have wooden "feet", a detail that softens the image and allows Nyhavn to be placed in any living room without losing the domestic, homely feeling.
For us Finn Juhl's effortlessly flowing forms, combination of materials and finely crafted details are amongst the finest examples of post-war furniture design. And are always a joy to see.
