Adding a spin on a traditional shape that is symmetrical, organic, and naturally pleasing to the eye, Finn Juhl decided to build upon the basic shape of a circle to create a new and exciting form. The sides of this bowl are precisely balanced and rise as much as they recede and the angles and ratios of the bowl correspond all around. The uniformity of the shape creates a striking effect for all things that are placed inside the bowl, creating an extraordinary play of reflections.
The Circle Bowl was designed in 1954, this is the first time it has ever been put into production.
Architect Finn Juhl (1912 – 1989) energized traditional Danish design and exemplifies the quality of craftsmanship and beauty that made Denmark a leader in mid-century modern design. In 1951 he designed the Trusteeship Council Chamber in the United Nations Headquarters in New York as a gift from Denmark to the UN. Finn Juhl had a great influence on the following generation of Scandinavian architects with his use of bold sculptural forms and ultra-refined detailing.
