ABOUT FINN JUHL’S HOUSE

The furniture designer Finn Juhl designed and furnished his house at Kratvænget 15 in Ordrup at the age of just 30. Completed in 1942, the house is now considered one of the finest examples of functionalist single-family homes in Denmark.

Only a few houses were ever designed by Finn Juhl. Although trained as an architect, he gained fame primarily as a furniture designer. His sculptural furniture is richly represented throughout the home. Here you’ll find, for instance, the Chieftain Chair, the Poet Sofa, and the Judas Table – to name just a few. But the furniture doesn’t stand alone. Art plays an equally central role. Works by leading Danish artists of the time such as Vilhelm Lundstrøm, Asger Jorn, Erik Thommesen, and Sonja Ferlov Mancoba were carefully selected by Finn Juhl himself. In line with his vision, the house appears as a modernist “gesamtkunstwerk” – a total work of art – uniting architecture, design, and art in one harmonious whole.
