Circle Bowl
FORGOTTEN
GEM
Never before
produced since its conception in 1954, the Circle Bowl is designed as a perfect
circle, yet visually creates the illusion of an ellipse. Wanting to put a spin
on a traditional form, Juhl’s design embraces the beauty of symmetry in
carefully thought out proportions. The sides of the bowl are precisely
balanced, rising as much as they recede, creating perfectly corresponding lines
of the bowl all around. The uniformity creates striking reflections for all
things placed within.
Material: Mirror polished
stainless steel
Dimension: 20: D20 cm, 30: D30 cm

Finn Juhl |
As one of
the many Danish architects in the 1950’s, Finn Juhl stands out as one of the
most successful international breakthroughs. To date he is one of Denmark’s
most famous architects, known for his bold, sculptural forms and ultra-refined
detailing. Surprisingly, unlike his fellow classmates, Juhl entered the Royal
Academy of Fine Arts, Architecture in Copenhagen in 1930 without any experience
as a craftsman.
This
combination energized traditional Danish Design, exemplifying the quality,
craftsmanship and beauty that helped the country become a leader in modern home
furnishings in the 1940-50’s.
