Finn Juhl Willadsen Sofa

The Willadsen Sofa, designed by Finn Juhl in 1950, exemplifies his sculptural and unconventional approach to furniture design. Originally created in collaboration with the Danish cabinetmaker Søren Willadsen, the sofa is defined by a distinctive semi-oval gap between the seat and backrest, allowing the back to arch freely above the seat and creating a light, floating expression. This detail was radical for its time and remains a defining feature of Juhl's aesthetic, where form, craftsmanship and artistic freedom converge.

The sofa’s curved, embracing shape is not just visual, it offers a generous, supportive seat that blends comfort with elegance. Slightly angled, solid wood legs lift the body of the sofa and contribute to its sense of balance and lightness. Each piece is handcrafted in Denmark and upholstered by skilled artisans using traditional techniques. The legs are available in either FSC® certified oak or American walnut, both selected for their durability and natural beauty.

The version shown here features walnut legs and Hallingdal wool upholstery, with colour ‘100’ on the backrest and ‘270’ on the seat. This combination highlights the sofa’s sculptural form and thoughtful detailing. For information about custom fabric or leather options, please contact sales@hollowaysofludlow.com.
