Originally designed for furniture manufacturers, France & Son, the elegant coffee table represents a style that became typical for Scandinavian mid-century furniture. A simple design that embodies expert craftsmanship and the timeless beauty of solid wood, the Walnut table is a luxurious addition to a contemporary living space. Perfect for placing in front of a sofa or lounge chair, the 500 Couch Coffee Table's robust structure, finished with subtle curvaceous details, is a piece that can truly last for generations to come.
Finn Juhl was born on the 30th January 1912 in Frederiksberg, Denmark.
Although trained in architecture, it was his modern furniture designs that made him an international name. His first pieces of furniture were designed for his own apartment and were manufactured by the young Danish carpenter, Niels Vodder.
In 1946 Juhl got his first major interior assignment at Bing and Grøndahl’s store at Amagertorv in Copenhagen. This later became one of his main works and was awarded with the Eckersberg Medal in 1947. Soon after, he was given the opportunity to help furnish the new headquarters of the United Nations in NY - something which established his name with the American audience.
He is most famous today for his iconic furniture designs including The Chieftan Chair and The 108 Chair which are now produced by the House of Finn Juhl.
