Danish manufacturer OneCollection have reintroduced two sofas that were designed by Finn Juhl.
The Baker sofa and the Wall sofa were both designed in the early 1950s,  now since Finn Juhl passed away, OneCollection has decided to begin producing the Baker sofa is known as one of the most beautiful sofas by the hand of Finn Juhl, designed in 1951 for the company Baker Furniture in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The sofa is in two parts with an upholstered body on a light construction of wood – a typical example of how Finn Juhl divided the elements in order to create lightness visually as well as constructively.

This sofa tries to solve different problems. Good support for the small of your back in normal position, relaxed position with your feet up in both corners, and even then rest for your elbows, as well as for your head – this effectuated by the dividing up of the back in two parts – good rest. The upholstered sofa is inspired by modern art, such as Henry Moore, Hans Arp, Erik Thommesen and Picasso, in which Finn Juhl was very interested. The sofa has lacquered steel legs and the upholstery is handmade. It is fastened to the wall and very few pieces have ever been made. Onecollection has re-launched this in connection with furnishing the AA Design Museum, Korea.
