ArchitectMade Small Circle Bowl Finn Juhl
For centuries people have been fascinated by the perfect shape of a circle and have used it in everything from transport to decoration.
Knowing that what is symmetrical and organic is naturally pleasing to the eye, but wanting to put a spin on an otherwise traditional shape, Finn Juhl decided to build upon the basic shape of a circle to create a new and exciting form. Like the perfect circle, the Circle Bowl encompasses precision and carefully thought out proportions in all aspects. The sides are symmetrical and precisely balanced, as they rise as much as they recede and the angles and ratios of the bowl correspond all around.
The uniformity of the shape creates a striking effect for all things that are placed inside the bowl, creating an extraordinary play of reflections. Its distinctive uniqueness is further accentuated by being set to production for the first time ever, since it has been designed in 1954.

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.”
