An exceptional example of Finn Juhl’s rare American collaboration with Baker Furniture Co., this double dresser captures the elegance, craftsmanship, and sculptural intelligence that define Juhl’s finest work. Designed in the 1950s, the piece stands as a testament to the moment when Scandinavian modernism met American luxury—and the results were extraordinary.
Crafted in richly grained teak, the casework displays striking movement and depth, with undulating patterns that shimmer across the surface. The wood exhibits remarkable chatoyance, giving it a subtle sparkle as light moves across the grain—one of the hallmarks of high-quality, slow-grown teak selected during this era.
The dresser’s most distinctive feature is its classic black enamel and brass half-moon pulls. Sculptural yet understated, these pulls are quintessential Finn Juhl: playful, refined, and perfectly ergonomic. Against the warm teak, they create a dramatic contrast that elevates the entire composition.
Resting on elegant tapered solid-teak legs, the piece maintains Juhl’s trademark lightness—appearing to float with effortless balance. Crisp architectural lines frame the six generous drawers, offering substantial storage while preserving a clean, modern silhouette.
Every detail echoes Juhl’s belief that furniture should be as beautiful from the back as the front. This dresser is fully finished on all sides, allowing it to float in a room or stand freely as a centerpiece—ideal for large bedrooms, dressing rooms, or modern interiors that celebrate sculptural furniture.
A highly collectible work by one of Denmark’s most revered designers, this dresser embodies the poetic craftsmanship and organic modernism that make Finn Juhl an icon of 20th-century design.
