Finn Juhl experienced an international breakthrough in the USA during the early 1950s. He subsequently designed a range of furniture with steel pipe frames, inspired by the American designers he had come across. The Table Bench was part of the range of furniture from this period and was also included in the large-scale exhibition called Design in Scandinavia.
As a result of this exposure and because of its light, elegant and timeless design, the Table Bench, designed in 1953, has always been an exceptional piece.

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.
