Baker Two Seater Sofa

Edgar Kaufmann Jr., a prolific art collector and director at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, wrote a piece about Finn Juhl's artistic furniture designs which caught the eye of Michigan furniture manufacturer, Hollis Baker. Baker invited Juhl to design a modern furniture collection for him, a pivotal event that helped the export boom for Danish design to the United States. Part of this series, the Baker sofa is an exquisite, sculptural design, defined by soft curves and beautiful upholstery; with the deep burgundy and purple colourways enhancing the separate components of the design whilst drawing them together simultaneously. Finished with high back and armrests, creating a retreated, cocooned space of comfortable support, the sofa is an elegant showpiece rich with design history.
