Poet Sofa - 1941
Brand:
House of Finn Juhl
First unveiled at the 1941 Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition, the Poet Sofa was originally created for Finn Juhl’s own home. Influenced by Surrealist art, this compact two-seater was named after a character from a Danish comic strip that represents comfort, craftsmanship, and respect for materials. It's hand-upholstered in Denmark, available in a wide range of textiles, and leathers with legs in oak, walnut, or black-painted finishes.

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.
