Finn Juhl

Finn Juhl

Finn Juhl (1912 - 1989) was a Danish furniture designer, industrial designer, and architect, one of the primary figures in the creation of "Danish design" in the 1940s and 1950s.

Juhl was born in Copenhagen and studied at the Royal Academy of Arts. He apprenticed for ten years with the Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen and opened his own design office in 1945, specializing in furniture and interior design. His reputation grew through five gold medals at the Milan Triennials, and promotion of his work in the United States by Edgar Kaufmann, Jr. in Interiors Magazine and at the Merchandise Mart.

Juhl also designed refrigerators for General Electric, glassware, ceramics, a line of furniture for the Baker Furniture Company of Holland, Michigan, and was the interior designer for the United Nations Trusteeship Council Chambers in New York City.
