The Poet

This is a scan of my desk diary, that has been filled with clippings and other sorts of inspiration. The two-seat sofa  is called The Poet and  has been designed by Finn Juhl.

This Danish architect and teacher in interior design participated in ‘The Good Design’ exhibiton, that was organised in 1951 in Chicago. From then on his star as a designer  rised and through his partnerships with American and Danish manufacturers in furniture ranges his designs became accessible for everyone. For SAS he designed the ticket offices in Europe and Asia and he was responsible for the interior design of the DC8 planes.  In my opinion this aviation job for the SAS inspired him to create The Poet or the other way around.

Another chair from his hand is ’45′, which elegant forms have been inspired from nature. It’s very hard to find a ’45′ and if you do so, be aware that it will be a sustainable investment.
