Whatever Gallery

Finn Juhl is most widely known for his work with the legendary cabinetmaker Niels Vodder. His early career was marked by strikingly odd, modern art inspired living room groupings for the Danish Cabinetmakers Exhibitions. In the late 1940s his artistic vision became clearer, culminating with the Chieftain Chair, which bridged the gap between furniture and sculpture (1949). Heavy demand for Danish design in the 1950s forced the transition to a more "mass production" focused operation. This "B0101" table/bench is a prime example of Juhl's mid-career aesthetic.
