Original Product Description:

The Finn Juhl 48 Sofa Bench is a stunning piece of furniture that embodies Finn Juhl''s characteristic, sculptural shapes and delicate details. Originally presented at the Cabinet Makers’ Guild Exhibition in 1948, the 48 Sofa Bench remains a timeless classic that still captures the imagination of design enthusiasts around the world. The chair embraces the seated person while rounded surfaces are shaped to fit the gravity of the resting body and its proportions. The organically shaped seat and backrest, upholstered in fabric or leather, are raised from the carrying frame in an almost demonstrative manner. Visually, this lifts the seated person, making it appear as if the law of gravity has been defeated. Finn Juhl never let his innovative designs stand alone but rather opted for creating a "Gesamtkunstwerk" – a German word that means entirety experienced and achieved through even the smallest of details. This philosophy is evident in the 48 Series, which includes the 48 Sofa Bench, and was presented at the Cabinet Makers’ Guild Exhibition in 1948. Even to the modern eye, it is clear that Finn Juhl''s ideas reached far into the future when they were first presented. The House of Finn Juhl''s decision to relaunch the 48 Sofa Bench (and Chair) pays homage to the original design and fine details, ensuring that Finn Juhl''s legacy continues to be celebrated in the modern world. The Finn Juhl 48 Sofa Bench is a highly desirable piece of furniture that combines style, comfort, and exceptional craftsmanship. Its iconic design, use of multiple materials, and attention to detail make it a standout addition to any modern living space.
