The House of Finn Juhl Sideboard is a striking example of Danish modern furniture, combining refined materials, architectural lines and playful colour in a design that is both practical and sculptural.
Designed by Danish architect and furniture designer Finn Juhl in 1955, this iconic sideboard brings sophisticated storage and timeless Scandinavian style to contemporary living and dining spaces.
Inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s colour wheel, Finn Juhl introduced a distinctive interplay of natural wood, painted surfaces and contrasting tones. The sideboard’s understated exterior conceals a more expressive interior, with sliding doors revealing a colourful arrangement of six drawers. This thoughtful contrast between simplicity and vibrant detail reflects Juhl’s ability to transform everyday furniture into an object of lasting design interest.
This version features a beautifully grained walnut veneer body, complemented by a hand-burnished steel frame and elegant wooden feet. The sliding doors conceal six trays finished in a coordinated palette of blue and white or yellow and white, creating a distinctive visual accent while keeping personal belongings neatly organised. Inside, the sideboard offers practical storage with two removable shelves on the left and an open compartment alongside the tray unit on the right. With its generous surface and carefully considered storage, the Finn Juhl Sideboard works beautifully in a living room, dining room, hallway or design-led office. Use the top to display ceramics, books, lighting and treasured objects, while the concealed compartments keep everyday essentials out of sight.
Its balanced proportions and sophisticated material palette make it equally suited to contemporary interiors and classic Scandinavian-inspired spaces. Originally designed for Danish furniture manufacturer Bovirke, the sideboard reflects Finn Juhl’s evolving design language during the 1950s, when he increasingly explored steel frames, clean lines and expressive colour.
Relaunched by House of Finn Juhl, it remains a celebrated example of authentic Danish design and considered craftsmanship.

Finn Juhl (1912-1989) was the first Danish furniture designer to be recognized internationally. He studied architecture at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen with Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen, but as a furniture designer he was self-taught, a fact he always emphasized.
Juhl began designing furniture in the late 1930s, in the beginning mostly pieces intended for himself, but after setting up his own office in 1945 he soon became known for his unusual, expressive and sculptural pieces.
One of Finn Juhl's most well-known pieces is the Chieftains Chair. Designed in 1949, it is a fine example of Juhl's great idea of separating the sculpturally shaped seat and back from the wooden frame.
