cocktail bench
Design Finn Juhl, 1951
Solid oak or walnut
Made in Denmark by House of Finn Juhl
In 1951, Finn Juhl designed the Cocktail Bench for Baker Furniture in the US. The bench takes inspiration from the lavish cocktail parties of the 1950s in the US, representing the booming economy of the time and the splendor that dominated society.
Hollywood and the new upper class had made cocktail parties immensely popular, and Finn Juhl was readily impressed by this newfound American extravagance, which he got to experience through his new and influential American friends. For this reason, the Finn Juhl collection now contains not less than two furniture pieces inspired by the American cocktail parties in the 50s: The round Cocktail Table and the rectangular Cocktail Bench. The bench can also be spotted in Finn Juhl's own house north of Copenhagen and is well suited as a table for art, a stack of books or a lamp.
Crafted from solid walnut or oak, the bench exhibits an intricate, detailed design, with beautifully rounded corners and slender angles uniting to form a timeless aesthetic. An optional cushion is available to order.
