The Beginning of a Partnership
Finn Juhl’s widow, the music- and theatre publisher Hanne Wilhelm Hansen, wanted this sofa to be part of an exhibition marking the 10th anniversary of Finn Juhl’s passing. Therefore, she contacted us and commissioned a single issue of the sofa based on his drawings. This became the very beginning of an amazing partnership with Hanne Wilhelm Hansen, who subsequently handed us the exclusive rights to manufacture Finn Juhl’s furniture.
A Nestled Area of Comfort
The 57 Sofa was exhibited for the very first time in the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen during 1957 and more than 40 years were to pass by before the world found favour with Finn Juhl’s extravagant design. The sculptural silhouette of the 57 Sofa is defined by smooth, clean lines, forming an inviting and spacious seating space. With tall armrests embracing the seat thus creating a nestled area of comfort, the 57 Sofa is truly a unique and playful design.
