Finn Juhl designed FJ Clock as a part of the interior of the New York United Nations Trusteeship Council Chamber in 1950. The circular and concave shape compliments the natural qualities of the teak and ash wood, while the aluminum dots capture Finn Juhl’s flair for minimalism.
Its aluminum minute and hour hands are also curved slightly along the wooden surface. It is crafted with a precision that offers harmony, and it is a work of art.
Each FJ Clock has its own unique wood pattern, and it comes in teak or stained ash.

Finn Juhl
As one of the many Danish architects in the 1950’s, Finn Juhl stands out as one of the most successful international breakthroughs. To date he is one of Denmark’s most famous architects, known for his bold, sculptural forms and ultra-refined detailing. Surprisingly, unlike his fellow classmates, Juhl entered the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Architecture in Copenhagen in 1930 without any experience as a craftsman. What he lacked in structural experience, he made up for in vision, crafting his designs from an artist’s mindset. Juhl’s forms balance sculptural and elegant expression with functionality. This combination energised traditional Danish Design, exemplifying the quality, craftsmanship and beauty that helped the country become a leader in modern home furnishings in the 1940-50’s. Juhl’s work had a great influence on the following generations of Scandinavian design. He went on to design the Trusteeship Council Chamber in the United Nations Headquarters in New York as a gift from Denmark to the UN and is renowned for stating, “One cannot create happiness with beautiful objects, but one can ruin quite a lot of happiness with bad ones.”
