Finn Yuhl<\/strong>
\nFinn Juhl, born in 1912, was first and foremost famous for his furniture, though he was also highly respected as an architect and interior designer. In the 1940\u2019s he designed a number of creations that regenerated Danish furniture design, and broke with the established furniture tradition. Juhl\u2019s celebration of the organic would become commonplace many years later, but his pioneering work was rarely equalled. His trademark, in chair design, was the delineation between the \u201cbearing\u201d and the \u201cborne\u201d \u2013 between the framework and the surfaces, seat, back, arms. His great invention was the floating seating surface, usually upholstered, in contrast to the hard wood of the design\u2019s bearing elements. His masterpieces \u201cPelican chair\u201d and \u201cChieftan\u201c are illustrative examples. The Chieftan Chair in rosewood was destined to grace the Danish embassies world wide. Thus fewer than 80 of them were produced and are today highly collectable. Later designs by Juhl were more specifically designed with the mass market in mind although every bit as beautiful and sturdy as the earlier classics. At the Milan Triennale in the 50\u2019s, he was awarded five gold medals and won international acclaim for his furniture. Finn Juhl was influenced by surrealists like Jean Arp and Joan Mir\u00f3 and used their biomorphism in discovering the sculptural possibilities of wooden furniture. Juh won the international acclaim before he was recognized in his own country. As an exhibition architect, he was the man behind the major showings of Danish applied art abroad which created the concept \u201cDanish Design\u201d. This also paved way for the Danish furniture industry\u2019s export in the 1960\u2019s. He dies in 1989.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Finn Yuhl Finn Juhl, born in 1912, was first and foremost famous for his furniture, though he was also highly respected as an architect and interior designer.
