Finn Juhl - The Elephant Furniture: 542.000€
The saleroom in Bredgade 33, Copenhagen, was the setting for a big evening in Danish design history, where Bruun Rasmussen sold a sofa and two chairs by Finn Juhl from 1939. The sofa set was presented at the Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition and was initially considered too much for contemporary taste. It was bought by the artist Mogens Lorentzen and has since been in the ownership of his family. However, no one in the world of design was aware of this. Just a few years later, pictures of the sofa were included in books about Danish design, but everyone thought it had been lost. It was therefore a unique piece of design history and cultural piece of heritage that was sold at auction, and the buyer of the furniture was a European collector who invested a total of DKK 4.03 million / € 542,000 in the sofa and the two chairs.
