Description:

This sofa is likely to be a unique design by Finn Juhl who gifted the piece to grandparents of its previous owners in 1943. The softly curved backrest, elegantly sloping arms, and sculptural silhouette reflect Juhl’s signature style of blending organic shapes with functional design. The armrests rise gracefully, creating a sense of openness and lightness while providing ergonomic comfort. The button-tufted detailing on the backrest enhances the tactile and visual appeal, adding texture while emphasising the sofa’s understated luxury. The legs, crafted from cherry wood, taper delicately towards the ground, elevating the sofa and contributing to the modern appearance.


Like most of Finn Juhl’s designs, this sofa was manufactured by Niels Vodder. This partnership began in the late 1930s and lasted until the early 1950s and is celebrated as one of the most iconic collaborations in Danish design history. Niels Vodder focused on small-scale production that prioritised craftsmanship over mass production. Another key player in the manufacturing of Juhl’s designs in Denmark was Bovirke who produced Juhl’s model BO64 sofa in the 1940s.

Likely to be unique.
