FINN JUHL: LIFE, WORK, WORLD

'Art is art, and a chair is a chair' for the architect and furniture designer Finn Juhl, there were no gray areas.  Yet Juhl's designs often strike a delicate balance between the fine and applied arts.  As one of the leading figures in the design, Juhl was instrumental in drawing attention to the aesthetics and craftsmanship of the Danish chair.  This book tells Juhl's story from the breakthrough of modernism around 1930 through the heights of cabinet maker's furniture in the 1940s and 1950s, up to the reemergence of his near forgotten masterpieces in the 1900s, their sublime execution admired afresh.  This expanded edition includes over 400 illustrations. 272 pages
