Finn Juhl

(Danish, 1912–1989)

Finn Juhl was a Danish architect, interior designer, and industrial designer, best known for ushering in the “Danish Modern” furniture craze to American audiences. He was born on January 30, 1912 in Frederiksberg, Denmark, and studied architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. He joined the firm of Vilhelm Lauritzen, where he received one of his first breaks of his career—a commission to completely redesign the interior of the iconic national broadcast studio, the Denmark Radio Building. He subsequently received the C.F. Hansen Prize for young architects in 1943, and soon after Juhl turned his attention to furniture. He began showing soft-edged, curvaceous wood pieces at the Cabinetmakers' Guild Exhibitions, included his famed Pelican Chair (1940), with a winged and floating upholstered back. It wasn’t until his work was shown at the Good Design Exhibition in Chicago in 1951 that he began to receive widespread popularity, going on to win top prizes at the Milan Triannial throughout the 1950s. He died on May 17, 1989 in Ordrup, Denmark, and his house was converted into a museum in 2003.
