Like many of Finn Juhl’s iconic designs, the Kaufmann Table was originally designed for his own home. With its unusually refined edge profile, the table stands in a class of its own, creating the illusion of the tabletop floating above the frame. The name honours Finn Juhl’s friend Edgar Kaufmann Jr., former director of the Industrial Design Department at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Almost entirely handcrafted, the table is constructed from oak, featuring a veneered walnut tabletop with solid edges.
As with so many of Finn Juhl's designs, the desk was originally created for his own home. It was never given an official name, so House of Finn Juhl dedicated it to Edgar Kaufmann Jr., the man who "discovered" Finn Juhl.
Finn Juhl deliberately worked with a mix of wood types. A dark walnut tabletop contrasts with a lighter oak frame, clearly distinguishing between the carried and the carrying elements. The table's many design details serve both functional and visual purposes.

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.
