Finn Juhl  A Chair for the American Family  In 1951, Danish
architect and designer Finn Juhl brought Danish Modernism to
forefront of American consciousness. He did so with his interior
for the “Good Design” Exhibition in Chicago, as well his design
for the Trusteeship Council Chamber at the UN headquarters in
New York, which he completed the following year. However, Juhl’s
sculptural forms, praised as the height of modern design, were
not only placed on display in prominent American arenas but were
also integrated into American homes, bringing  European design
to the average American consumer. Finn Juhl, Danish Modernism,
