ArchitectMade Turning Tray Finn Juhl - Danish design is known all across the world today. This wasn’t always the case, and the northern country also owes its international recognition to Finn Juhl, who was co-responsible for the Danish furniture export triumph of the 1960s. By breaking with the established traditions and bringing in new creations, he showed a whole generation of designers the way.
Various trademarks of the old master can also be found in the Turning Tray: this applies for the curved teak frame as well as the characteristic corner joints on the tray. If you want to admire Juhl’s original trays, it’s recommended to take a trip to his house in Charlottenlund, which today acts as a museum.
The Turning Tray is available in three different sizes and multiple colour combinations (black/white, black/red, black/green and black/blue).

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.”
