Finn Juhl coffee table
This rare coffee table designed by Finn Juhl and produced by France & Søn in Denmark in 1959 is a striking example of mid-century Danish modern design. Crafted from solid teak, it reflects Juhl’s renowned attention to organic form and exquisite craftsmanship. The tabletop is long and rectangular with gently curved edges, complemented by a raised lip on both ends that adds a subtle yet practical framing detail.
The table is supported by elegantly tapered legs joined by a horizontal support beam, which contributes to the piece’s structural stability while maintaining a sense of lightness and openness. The teak surface has aged gracefully, developing a warm patina that enriches the wood’s natural grain and texture.
Finn Juhl’s work is celebrated for merging architecture with furniture design, emphasizing sculptural shapes and meticulous joinery. This coffee table captures his signature style — balancing functionality with artistic expression.
The table measures 145 cm in width, 54 cm in depth, and 45 cm in height (57.1 x 21.3 x 17.7 inches) and remains in good vintage condition with minor signs of wear appropriate for its age.
