The Finn Juhl House II
The furniture designer and architect Finn Juhl designed and decorated his house in Ordrup at the age of thirty. Completed in 1942, Finn Juhl’s house is now considered one of the most successful functionalist single-family houses in Denmark. Very few houses by Finn Juhl exist today: while he was a trained architect, he mainly achieved fame as a furniture designer. Finn Juhl’s sculptural furniture designs are represented throughout the house. In keeping with Finn Juhl’s vision, the house is a place where architecture, design and art come together in a harmonious totality.
The Finn Juhl House stands next to and is a part of the Ordrupgaard Art Museum.
