The Hulsø by House of Finn Juhl The Hulsø shelf by House of Finn Juhl has an organically shaped design,
and isn't just a merely a backdrop for displayed objects.
Instead, the Hulsø Shelf stands as an artistic element in its own right, adding aesthetic value to any room beyond its function.
The shelf features a specially designed wall bracket that allows for adjustment after mounting.
When multiple shelves are combined, they create a cohesive organic expression with soft, curve lines,
adding both function and decoration to any space.
The Hulsø Shelf is available in solid FSC® certified oak or walnut and can be mounted on the wall individually, in rows, or in free formations.

Oak | Dark Oil
The dark oil treatment enhances the grain structure of the oak and provides it with a warm and darker tone.
The dark oil is a natural oil based on virgin linseed oil.
Oak | Clear Oil
When treated with clear oil the tone of the oak is kept light, meaning that the wood’s original colour is maintained
for longer and premature darkening is prevented.
The history behind the Hulso Shelf
Although Finn Juhl is primarily known for his sculptural furniture, his talents were not confined to this area alone.
Trained as an architect, he excelled in creating magnificent, holistic exhibitions and interiors. A notable example is his iconic work
for the Trusteeship Council Chamber at the UN headquarters in New York in 1952. Finn Juhl himself used the term "Gesamtkunstwerk"
to describe a cohesive space where each element contributes to the overall experience.
It was this holistic approach that led Finn Juhl to design the shelf that House of Finn Juhl has named Hulsø.
During a review of the drawing archive, a wave-shaped shelf with beautiful details was discovered, initially part of
an interior design for the "winter garden" for Magister W. Andersen in Hulsø Ege, Denmark.
This specific interior, including the shelf, is illustrated in two of Finn Juhl's original watercolors, and there's also
a detailed technical drawing of the shelf dated 1949.
The colourful interior also features Finn Juhl's bold Wall Sofa and his most famous furniture piece, the Chieftain Chair,
designed in the same year.
There's some mystery surrounding the original context of the shelf: The house in Hulsø Ege, Rungsted, dating back to 1917,
still exists, but no further information about Finn Juhl's 1949 interior project has been found.
Nevertheless, Finn Juhl's precise drawing has enabled House of Finn Juhl to recreate and now launch the Hulsø Shelf,
75 years after it was first designed.
