Description

The Danish design scholar Birgit Lyngbye Pedersen found out the work of Finn Juhl (1912-1989) when she was once on the lookout for a suitable sofa for her 1950s home. Juhl’s furniture is undergoing a renaissance at the present, and when his house in Charlottenlund–which he designed and decorated in 1941-42–came up for sale, Pedersen purchased the building and all of its furnishings, presenting it instantly afterward to the adjacent Ordrupgaard Museum. This monograph takes a have a look at Finn Juhl–who, alongside Hans J. Wegner and Arne Jacobsen, is without doubt one of the most essential Danish modernists–in an agreeable, unpretentious fashion. Per H. Hansen, a renowned expert in Scandinavian furniture design, provides a humorous, extremely informative description of Juhl’s unconventional character and his classic furniture–the Chieftain Chair, the Pelican Chair, the Poet Sofa. Drawings, photographs, images of the newly curated house (2008) and an amusing final chapter about his patrons round off this bizarre and atmospherically illustrated tribute to the intense Danish designer and his own home, an icon of good taste.
