Finn Juhl’s simple yet striking sideboard designed in 1955 combines exclusive wooden materials with the colours from Goethe’s colour wheel. The sideboard is manufactured with a veneered corpus in teak, oak, walnut or Oregon pine. The sliding doors are available in teak, oak, walnut or Oregon pine veneer or painted either white/yellow or white/light blue. The frame is available in burnished steel or painted black, orange or light blue. The tray unit is optional.
After Finn Juhl’s rise to stardom in the American design circles around 1950, he became increasingly inspired by his American colleagues - Charles Eames in particular. Up until then, wood had predominantly been his preferred material but at this time he gradually started experimenting with steel as well.
This newfound simplicity with its straight lines became evident in his designs of desks, dining tables, coffee tables, benches, sideboards and sofas for the Danish furniture manufacturer Bovirke. These designs, with their burnished steel frames and wooden toes, were Finn Juhl’s response to the criticism he had received in terms of his artsy, sculptural designs and exclusivity.

DESIGNED BY
Finn Juhl
Rather than thinking in terms of practical construction, Finn Juhl had the mind-set of a sculptor, when he shaped a piece of furniture. In the 1940s and 1950s, this way of working had never been seen before. His ambition was to design furniture with movement and life. Finn Juhl took pride in making both the structurally supportive elements of the furniture and the seated person look as though they are floating.
