內容簡介
內容簡介 知名建築師Finn Juhl是丹麥的四大巨匠之一，他的建築風格對於丹麥當代設計有深遠的影響，並促成了「Danish Modern」的誕生。本書將帶您回顧Finn Juhl的相關事蹟，並由北歐傢俱設計專家Per H. Hansen提供詳盡的介紹和解說，讓您深入了解Finn Juhl的經典設計如Chieftain Chair、Pelican Chair和Poet Sofa等等，以及他突破傳統的設計特色。此外，書中對於Finn Juhl的家也有不少著墨，讓讀者了解什麼是專業建築師的優雅品味。The Danish design scholar Birgit Lyngbye Pedersen discovered the work of Finn Juhl (1912-1989) when she was looking for a suitable sofa for her 1950s home. Juhl's furniture is undergoing a renaissance at present, and when his house in Charlottenlund--which he designed and decorated in 1941-42--came up for sale, Pedersen purchased the building and all of its furnishings, presenting it immediately afterward to the adjacent Ordrupgaard Museum. This monograph takes a look at Finn Juhl--who, alongside Hans J. Wegner and Arne Jacobsen, is one of the most important Danish modernists--in an agreeable, unpretentious fashion. Per H. Hansen, a renowned expert in Scandinavian furniture design, provides a humorous, extremely informative description of Juhl's unconventional character and his classic furniture--the Chieftain Chair, the Pelican Chair, the Poet Sofa. Drawings, photographs, images of the newly curated house (2008) and an amusing final chapter about his patrons round off this unusual and atmospherically illustrated tribute to the brilliant Danish designer and his own home, an icon of good taste.
