The 57 Sofa by Finn Juhl for Onecollection

Renowned Danish architect and designer Finn Juhl introduced the 57 Sofa back in 1957 at Tivoli Gardens and some 40 years passed before before any attention was brought back to the design. It wasn’t until Juhl’s widow, Hanne Wilhelm Hansen, asked Onecollection in 1998 to make one of the sofas for an exhibition marking the 10th anniversary of his passing. Hansen was so happy with the results that she allowed Onecollection to relaunch the design, which eventually led to the company relaunching more than 40 of Finn Juhl’s designs over time.

The sofa fits two to three people comfortably with it’s slightly reclined back and arms in its two-tone fabric or leather upholstery combination. The legs come in a choice of brushed stainless steel with wooden toes in oak, teak, or walnut.
