A Classic Mid-Century Table Design
In 1958, Finn Juhl designed a series of five occasional tables for the Danish furniture manufacturer France & Son. The series included tables ranging from a rectangular 69-inch version to a 24-inch version, a square table, and a slightly taller model featuring a wooden shelf.
A matching dining table measuring 40 x 74 inches was also part of the collection and could be extended to 9'4 inches using two leaves stored beneath the tabletop. All the tables were originally crafted in solid teak, and several of them can still be found in Finn Juhl's own home in Ordrup.
During the 1950s, France & Son accounted for 60% of all Danish furniture exports. Today, one of the tables has been reintroduced by House of Finn Juhl and is available in solid oak or walnut. With its timeless aesthetic and refined detailing, it integrates seamlessly into a wide range of interiors.
