In the rank of great Danish designers Finn Juhl (1912-1989) is mentioned in the same breath
with Hans J. Wegner and Arne Jacobsen. He became particularly well known for his sculptural
seemingly organic tables chairs and sofas. However the complex interior designs he developed
in the forties and fifties were also enormously successful. These include the Danish Embassy in
Washington D. C. or the conference room of the United Nations Trusteeship Council in New
York. Only the most adept would be aware of the fact that Finn Juhl was also a talented
watercolor painter. For the first time this publication allows readers to take a unique look
at the designer's working method. More than 125 subtle works on paper communicate the ingenuity
of their creator: Finn Juhl's furniture classics living concepts and interior designs can
finally be experienced in all their complexity as one can trace their development from the
beginning onwards.
