Japan Sofa 3 Seater

by Finn Juhl from house of finn juhl

japan sofa 3 seater

Design Finn Juhl, 1957
Solid oak or walnut frame, fabric or leather upholstery, brass details
Made in Denmark by House of Finn Juhl

Even with the Japan Sofa's simple construction, Finn Juhl remained true to his idea of emphasizing the distinction between the carried and carrying elements by separating the backrest from the supporting frame using brass brackets.

The sublime simplicity of the Japan Sofa is a far cry from some of Finn Juhl's earliest furniture designs and is inspired by traditional Japanese building techniques. The solid horizontal backrest, resting on the slightly tapered legs, is a reference to a Japanese temple door. The backrest ends in a circular recess, adding an optically refined impression with great effect. That was very typical of Finn Juhl, who famously said that deviation is in the detail.

Finn Juhl's partnership with the furniture manufacturer France & Son gave birth to a series of furniture well-suited for industrial production, while staying true to the ideals of simple designs that reigned in the 1950s. The most famous example of this cooperation is probably the Japan Series, which consists of a lounge chair, a footstool, a two seater sofa and a three seater sofa.

The Japan Series is upholstered in either a single fabric/leather or in a split-upholstery with a contrasting color or textile. Preselected split-upholstery options are available to order online, please contact Hive for custom configurations.

Finn Juhl

Finn Juhl aimed at a more organic and natural design form without role models or inherited restrictions. He designed by measuring his own body and analyzing how the individual components of the chair should carry the human body.
Finn Juhl’s design universe is a joyful journey of shapes, aesthetics and inspiration. These classic Danish Modern masterpieces are authorized, licensed & manufactured in Denmark with respect for heritage and quality.
