In autumn 1949, Nisse and Kajsa's STRING shelf won first prize in the Bonniers library competition. Made up of blue wall panels and pine shelves, their creation beat out 194 competitors from all over Europe, the United States and even Australia. For the 75th anniversary of the String bookshelf, we produced a limited series of 1949 bookshelves with the original blue wall panels and solid pine shelves. Just like the winning 1949 model.
The Panel system can transform the interior walls of your home, creating a striking storage unit and display area. A modern and practical solution for dynamic storage, this flexible system allows cabinets and shelves to be moved independently, with almost limitless combinations of woods, colours and configurations. Ideal for a contemporary living room or office, the Panel House of Finn Juhl system embodies a humanistic and functional design that can evolve with the interior space for years to come.
The exhibition in 1961, where Finn Juhl presented the Glove Cabinet, marked Finn Juhl’s 25th anniversary and became his last exhibition of that kind. The exclusive cabinet opens up like a jewelry box and reveals a daring and colourful interior.
The original Pira shelf designed in 1954 was as contradictory as the man who conceived it. Olle Pira (1927-2018) was a traditional master cabinet-maker who crafted cherry, maple and matured oak with age-old skills. Yet he won a place at the renowned Konstfack school of art, craft and design, the birthplace of concepts ahead of their times. And became the first Swede to win a gold medal at the Triennale in Milan in 1952.
The simple and beautiful Finn Juhl sideboard from 1955 combines exclusive wood materials with the colors of the Goethe color wheel. The sideboard is made with white / yellow, white / light blue, oak, teak, walnut or Oregon pine sliding doors and matching trays in yellow / red or blue tones.
