53 Sofa - 1953
Brand:
House of Finn Juhl
The 53 Sofa, designed for master joiner Niels Vodder, remains one of Finn Juhl’s most coveted pieces. It is defined by armrests that frame the upholstery with a sense of weightlessness, as though the seat is floating. Hand-upholstered in Denmark in textile or leather, the sofa is available with legs in oak or walnut. An optional cushion can also be added.

Finn Juhl
Danish architect and furniture designer
Finn Juhl was a Danish architect and furniture designer whose sculptural, organic furniture helped define Danish Modern and shift furniture from pure utility to a form of spatial art.
Finn Juhl trained as an architect in Copenhagen and worked for the prominent modernist architect Vilhelm Lauritzen, contributing to major projects such as the Danish Broadcasting House (Radiohuset). He soon turned toward interiors and furniture, collaborating closely with cabinetmaker Niels Vodder and exhibiting at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild shows from 1937 onward. These exhibitions positioned him among the key figures who were breaking from heavy, historicist styles toward lighter, modern forms that became known as Danish design.
