Art Collector's Table

Finn Juhl designed the table for his and Niels Vodder's stand at the 1948 Cabinetmakers' Guild Exhibition at the Danish Museum of Art & Design, which they named 'An Art Collector’s Study'. The table features a distinctive split tabletop that unfolds to reveal a glass case, evoking the sense of a treasure chamber. This unique function, combined with the exhibition's theme, inspired its name – the Art Collector's Table. The table is crafted in walnut with a solid frame and edges. The veneered tabletop is designed to showcase the wood grain in an unbroken flow. The glass case is fitted into a separate, removable walnut compartment.
