1946 Parlor Sofa, Mint Green/Latte

1946 Parlor Mid Century Modern Sofa

Can you believe this modernist design was originally created in 1946? Mid century modernism meets organic artistic curves in this comfortable space conscious sofa. Finn Juhl created the original Series #46 Poet Sofa out of inspiration from the works of Picasso.

Making the Icon

The original design was created in 1946 by Finn Juhl for use in his own home in the Netherlands. The home is now part of a museum and the Poet Sofa considered a work of modernism art. The frame of the poet sofa curves with artistic intent. Recapturing the organic curves and angles of the original is not a simple undertaking. The whimsical use of coordinating and contrasting fabric color combinations on the body, the seat and buttons, reiterates the artistic flair of the piece.

Kardiel respectfully adheres to responsible standards when reproducing original designs. Details such as frame construction, dimensions overall and within, angles, seam finish, pleats, tufting, fabric selection. It is only with attention to material and visuals that substantial designs like the Finn Juhl Poet Sofa are reproduced without compromising your budget nor the integrity of the original.

About Cashmere Wool Tweed

Cashmere wool fiber is obtained from “Cashmere goats.” Historically, fine-haired Cashmere goats have been called Capra hircus laniger, as if they were a subspecies of the domestic goat Capra Hircus. Cashmere goats produce a double fleece that consists of a fine, soft undercoat or under-down of hair mingled with a straighter and much coarser outer coating of hair called Guard Hair. For the fine under-down to be sold and processed further, it must be de-haired. De-hairing is a mechanical process that separates the coarse hairs from the fine hair. After this separating process the resulting premium “cashmere” is ready to be dyed and converted into yarn.

Parlor Sofa, inspired by Finn Juhl's 1946 Poet Sofa

inn Juhl's designs were a fresh take, complimenting modernism architecture and turning their backs on the traditionalist elements. Finn himself may have been ahead of his time.

Many of his designs were not well received and he did not gain the notoriety of peers such as Hans Wegner and Borge Mogensen. Many of his designs were ahead of their time as well. One look at the Poet sofa and it is hard to believe it was produced in 1941.

Get "the look" on a budget

There are rare instances when the world is presented with brilliant designs from gifted individuals. Of course the licensed version of the design is always preferred but it not always within budget for everyone. Kardiel reproductions are inspired by the original designs. The reproductions strike balance between budget and original intent. Recapturing the overall broad appearance begins with a focus on the detailed curves, dimensions and angles of the original designs.

The whimsical use of coordinating and contrasting fabric color combinations on the body, the seat and buttons of the Parlor Sofa reiterates the artistic flair of the piece. Details considered prior to manufacturing are wood, foam & fabric selection, frame construction, dimensions overall and within, angles, seam finish, pleats, tufting. It is only with attention to material and visuals that substantial designs like the Finn Juhl Poet Sofa are reproduced without compromising your budget nor the integrity of the original.

The licensed version of the poet sofa retails at over $10,000
