Finn Juhl is known for adding visual lightness to his designs, and the Nyhavn Desk is no exception. The desk is manufactured in different sizes and available with a veneered table top in teak, oak, walnut, Oregon pine or linoleum in the colours 'black' or 'mushroom' with matching wooden toes on burnished steel legs. Alternatively, the legs are available in black, orange or light blue.
When Finn Juhl established his first studio at the exclusive address of 33 Nyhavn in central Copenhagen in 1945, he designed a very simple desk with burnished steel legs, a detail which came to shape his furniture design during the 1950s. When Finn Juhl moved his studio to 38 Sølvgade in 1957, these same tables were still used.
When Finn Juhl designed the Nyhavn Desk he was inspired by the simplistic designs of his American counterparts, in particular Charles Eames. However, his sense of functionality and detail is what adds real character to this piece.

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.
