Finn Juhl møbler i fint selskab med Mrs. og Mr. Obama
Onecollection leverer møbler til både IOC-konferencen i oktober
og klimatopmødet i december...
Onecollection fra Ringkøbing indretter eksklusiv VIP
Lounge med Finn Juhl møbler til den internationale olympiske komités konference i Bella Center 1.-9. oktober,
hvor blandt andre Michelle og Barack Obama, kong Juan
Carlos fra Spanien samt Pélé er prominente deltagere.
-Der er faktisk tale om en hel kavalkade af arkitekt Finn
Juhls kendteste møbler, som skal bruges til VIP-loungens 40 siddepladser, fortæller Henrik Sørensen, direktør
i designmøbelfirmaet Onecollection, Ringkøbing.
Arkitekten Finn Juhl (1912-1989) var den af de store
danske arkitekter, der blev mest kendt internationalt,
og derfor faldt det naturligt at vælge netop hans møbler
til IOC’s konference.
Blandt møblerne er flere nyheder, som for eksempel
Baker-sofaen, som vises for første gang i brug efter
relanceringen under CODE 09 i august.

kræver anden behandling end vedligeholdelse med
sæbespånevand.
-Der er tale om brugsmøbler, hvor bæredygtighed og
komfort er i højsædet, de er lette at flytte rundt med og
så er de oven i købet æstetisk smukke. Så vi er sikre på,
at mødedeltagerne komme til at sidde både behageligt
og bæredygtigt under de vigtige klimaforhandlinger,
siger Henrik Sørensen.
-Man har fundet det vigtigt at tænke bæredygtighed ind
i møblerne qua den globale opvarmning, som er temaet
for topmødet, siger Henrik Sørensen.
Bordene er lavet i dansk ask, en ressource som er lokal
og som bør anvendes nu. Ask er nemlig angrebet af sygdommen toptørre, som på sigt vil udrydde træsorten helt.
Bordpladen er beklædt med linoleum, som er et naturprodukt lavet af blandt andet linolie og sand, der ikke
Stolene er da også blevet valgt, netop fordi de kan ændres og genanvendes til andre formål efter topmødet.
Sæde og ryg kan skiftes ud, så stellet kan genbruges i
stedet for blot at blive kasseret.

-Det er faktisk en lidt finurlig historie, for den amerikansk
producerede Baker-sofa blev præsenteret første gang
i Chicago i 1951, Michelle og Barack Obama kommer
fra Chicago, og byen er nu i spil som mulig vært for de
olympiske lege i 2016, forklarer Henrik Sørensen.
Ud over Baker-sofaen anvendes Høvdingestolen fra
1949, Pelikan-stolen og Poet-sofaen fra henholdsvis
1940 og 1941 samt 45-stolen fra 1945.
Ikke mindst på grund af sit virke i USA, betragtes Finn
Juhl i dag som faderen til begrebet ”Danish Design”.
Siddepladser til klimatopmødet
Til FN’s klimatopmøde i København i december har
Onecollection sikret sig leverancen af 2000 Bessi stole

-I dag står Finn Juhls designs som noget af det mest
eksklusive, man kan få. Da Onecollection for ti år siden
overtog rettighederne til Finn Juhls møbler, var han
nærmest ukendt i den brede offentlighed og kun kendt
blandt møbelkendere. I dag er han højaktuel, siger Henrik Sørensen.

Finn Juhl furniture in company with Mrs. og Mr. Obama
Onecollection will be delivering furniture for both the IOC conference in
October and for the Climate Summit in December...
Onecollection from Ringkøbing is furnishing the exclusive VIP lounge with Finn Juhl furniture for the International Olympic Committee’s conference in Bella Center
from 1st to 9th October, where among others Michelle
and Barack Obama, King Juan Carlos from Spain and
Pelé are prominent participants.
-As a matter of fact we are talking of a cavalcade of
Finn Juhl’s most known furniture, which we are using
for the 40 seats in the VIP lounge, tells Henrik Sørensen,
Managing Director of the design-furniture company Onecollection, Ringkøbing.
The architect Finn Juhl (1912-1989) was the one of
the great Danish architects, who got most known internationally, and so it was a natural thing choosing his
furniture for the IOC conference.
Among the furniture there is more news, like e.g. the
Baker couch which is going to be used for the first time
since the re-launching during CODE 09 in August.
Seatings at the Climate Summit
For the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen in December
Onecollection has secured the delivery of 2000 Bessi
chairs designed by the Icelandic designer Erla Oskársdottir, as well as 300 special made tables.
-Here we are talking furniture for use, with comfort and
sustainability above all, they are easy to move around
and then they are also aesthetic beautifully. So we are
sure the participants at the meeting will be seated comfortably and sustainably during the important climate
negotiations says Henrik Sørensen.
The tables are made in Danish ashwood, a resource which
is local and should be used now. The ash is attacked by
the disease topdryness, which is going to wipe out the
wood sort completely in time. The tableplate is covered
with linoleum, which is a natural product made among
others things of linseed oil and sand and it does not require
any other maintenance than soap flakes in water.
-One has found it important to think sustainability into
the furniture qua the global heating which is the theme
of the meeting, says Henrik Sørensen.
The chairs were also chosen because they can be
changed and used for other purposes after the summit.
Seat and back can be changed, so the frame can be
re-used instead of being scraped.

-There is actually a good story behind this, as the first
American produced Baker couch was introduced for
the first time in Chicago in 1951, Michelle and Barack
Obama come from Chicago, and now the city is in the
game as possible host city for the Olympic games in
2016, explains Henrik Sørensen.
Today Finn Juhl’s designs are some of the most exclusive design you can get. Ten years ago when Onecollection got the rights to Finn Juhl’s furniture he was fairly
unknown to the broader public and only known among
the carpenters. Today he is very topical, says Henrik
Sørensen.
Not at least because of his work in USA Finn Juhl is considered as the father of the concept of “Danish Design”.
