Bring iconic Danish design and considered functionality to your workspace with the House of Finn Juhl Nyhavn Desk with Cold Drawers.
Designed by Finn Juhl in 1945, the Nyhavn Desk combines a refined architectural profile with practical detailing, creating a timeless designer desk for contemporary home offices, studios and executive workspaces.
The desk is distinguished by its slender steel frame, elegant tabletop and wooden feet, which create a distinctive sense of visual lightness. Rather than relying on bulky construction, Finn Juhl’s design allows the tabletop to appear almost suspended, balancing a clean, modern silhouette with the warmth and character of natural materials. The integrated three-drawer unit adds practical storage while introducing a distinctive colour accent. Suspended beneath the desk on discreet brackets, the drawers preserve the lightness of the overall design. The cold colour palette offers a cooler, more understated alternative to the warm drawer version, creating an interesting contrast with the selected tabletop finish and painted steel frame.
Available with a choice of tabletop materials and frame colours, the Nyhavn Desk can be tailored to suit a range of interiors. Whether placed in a dedicated home office, a creative studio or a professional workspace, it offers a considered balance of everyday usability and mid-century Danish design. The Nyhavn Desk reflects Finn Juhl’s ability to bring personality to functional furniture. First designed for his studio at 33 Nyhavn in Copenhagen, it remains a distinctive example of his design philosophy, combining carefully judged proportions, expressive details and enduring 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.
