The BO 101 bench is a seminal piece from Finn Juhl’s architecture‑influenced furniture production in the early 1950s. With its long rosewood top, brass edging, and slender black steel frame, the design offers a refined balance between material warmth and structural lightness. The extended proportions make it suitable both as a bench and as a low table, reflecting Juhl’s interest in multifunctionality and fluid use of space. Its clean geometry and the interplay of wood, metal, and brass exemplify the principles of Scandinavian modernism, a combination of craftsmanship, elegance, and understated modernity.
