FIIN JUHL SOFA IN FREAK HANSEN


Este sofá no tienen idea de lo que es, es una escultura de curvas hecho para sentarse.
Lo conseguí con la tela original en muy buen estado, solo se le limpiaron las patas que si estaban rayadas por la escoba, de resto todavía tiene su lana original.

Finn Juhl (1912–1989) was trained in Architecture at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen (1934) and studied for ten years in the offices of Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen. He was, however, a self-taught furniture designer. His designs were primarily for his own use, until his architecture office became known for its unique and sculptural furniture. In 1951, Juhl was given the challenge and honor of design the interior of Trusteeship Council Chamber at the UN headquarters in New York. The result of this project was heavily praised and generated awareness of a Danish Modern furniture style. (Biographical information from Danish-Furniture.com and r20thcentury.com)
