Baker Denmark / USA, 1951 walnut, upholstery over plywood 76 w x 29 d x 38½ h in (193 x 74 x 98 cm)
The sculptural contours of the high back sofa distinguish it from other sofas from the period.
Juhl states "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 your elbows, as well as for your head -- this effectuated by the dividing up of the back in two parts -- good rest!"Literature: Finn Juhl: Furniture, Architecture, Applied Art, Hiort, pgs. 13 and 46, illustrated.
