The Pelican Table | Finn Juhl | 1940
At the 1940 Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition, the Pelican Chair was showcased alongside the Pelican Table, both reflecting Finn Juhl’s deep affinity for modern art. However, the table was never put into production and was only rediscovered at a Paris auction nearly 75 years later, allowing the accurate design and measurements of the table to be finally determined. The Pelican Table is now manufactured in oak, walnut, Oregon pine, or painted black.

The Perfect Match to the Pelican Chair
The only known version of the Pelican Table was displayed with the Pelican Chair at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition in 1940. Both the Pelican Chair and the Pelican Table are exceptional examples of Finn Juhl’s spiritual kinship with modern art.
However, the table was never put into production, and for many years, the table was only found in the photograph from the exhibition. However, almost 75 years after the exhibition, the original table suddenly reappeared at an auction in Paris, and the accurate dimensions and measurements of the table could finally be determined.
The Pelican Table is manufactured in oak, walnut, Oregon pine, or painted black.
