RETROVISOR FINN JUHL'S BENCH IN FREAK HANSEN


A true collector's and investment piece by Finn Juhl for Bovirke. This design was conceived by Juhl to be used as a bench and/or coffee table and came with a foldable cushion to allow the user to still use half of the piece as a table. The top surface is flanked by two solid brass strips that would have kept the cushions in place but also guard against items on the surface falling off. The legs are constructed of tubular metal and are tipped with solid teak shoes. The strength of the piece, to allow it to be used as a bench, comes from the solid beech stretcher that runs along the bottom. This piece came in four lengths, this being the third longest. This piece would make a wonderful addition to any Juhl collection or modern setting.
