About The Panel System

A Well-Balanced Unit

When Finn Juhl designed a house or an interior, his objective was to create a harmonious totality where architecture, design and art came together - a so-called "Gesamtkunstwerk". A humanistic-inspired philosophy where all the elements in an interior seamlessly become one well-balanced unit. In his work, it translated into a philosophy where furniture and space seamlessly became one well-balanced unit. The Panel System supports this approach as it transforms walls into an integrated part of the overall interior design and at the same time adds both warmth and character.

Contrary to many of his architectural colleagues, Finn Juhl worked from an inside-out approach, starting with the function of each room and how that was reflected in its interior design, before he focused on the exterior.

About The Panel System

Classic, Modern and Versatile

Today, Finn Juhl's Panel System is still one of the most aesthetic and practical solutions for dynamic storage. The flexible system allows for cupboards and shelves to be moved around independently, with almost limitless combinations of wood types, colours and even textiles available.

The Panel System is crafted at our own workshop in Ringkøbing, Denmark, where our headquarters also are located.
