MODERN ART + DESIGN - Bruun Rasmussen

living with Finn Juhl
today, finn Juhl’s furniture can be found in many museums around the world. But the furniture
of finn Juhl was never intended to be put on display – only to be admired from a distance.
finn Juhl regarded his furniture as sculptural objects that retained a clear functional value. He
wanted the shapes and colours of his furniture to interplay with the art, objects and light of the
space within which they were set. He wanted spaces that were modern and functional, yet filled
with warmth and humanity.
the danish company Onecollection has now taken on the mammoth task of passing on the
legacy of finn Juhl to future generations. triggered by their own personal interest in the
designer, the people behind Onecollection have developed their involvement with finn Juhl
into a global presence. they have undertaken the most comprehensive and serious research into
the archives of finn Juhl and managed to bring many of the most iconic and classic models by
finn Juhl back to life.
the following 25 lots offer a great opportunity to enjoy the universe of finn Juhl in one of his
timeless classics.
