Denmark is one of the most exciting countries when it comes to design. It has one of the richest design legacy with names that not only ring a bell but all bells of all kind of domes. One of the iconic names from Danish design is Finn Juhl, an architect with a vision for elegance and craftsmanship in the mid-century period of the 1940s and 1950s.
Finn Juhl’s designs have strongly influenced the country’s architects and designers, especially his use of bold sculptural forms and refined detailing. Juhl once said: ‘One cannot create happiness with beautiful objects, but can spoil a lot of happiness with bad ones.’ And since this is the Happy Interior Blog where I am overly concerned about your happiness at home, I will try not to ruin your happiness – instead I am pretty sure I will make you a tad happy when I tell you that I’ve partnered up with ARCHITECTMADE, a Danish webshop that focuses on a few, rare design objects designed by some of Denmark’s greatest architects many years ago, to offer you a great giveaway.
Today I am inviting you to enjoy a cup of coffee with me on the beautiful Turning Tray designed by Finn Juhl in 1956. Today the original trays are on display at Finn Juhl’s house in Denmark (now a museum). Architectmade has relaunched the Turning Trays after the exact original drawings by Finn Juhl with utmost attention to the details. The Turning Tray encompasses characteristic design features like curved teak frame and corner joints that are Finn Juhl trademarks and they are dual-sided with different colours. The new trays also come with a laser engraved signature from Finn Juhl.
Do you want such a Turning Tray from Finn Juhl for your home too? Excellent! All you have to do is go and pick your colour of choice HERE and tell me which one you’d like in the comments under this blog post. The giveaway will be running until coming Friday, April 17th 2015 and is open worldwide. Good luck!

WOW Igor love the story and the photographs (where is the eye pillow from – awesome:))

I’m all about trays – I like to have my tea while sitting on my sofa, and since I threw out my coffee table some time ago (NO REGRETS!), I either have to hold my mug in my hand all the time, or balance it on my legs or the sofa. Which, surprisingly, turns out to invite accidents and spills. Who knew?!
And I simply love the green version of the tray, so lovely! 🙂
I’m a big fan of Finn Juhl’s designs. It’s great that they are getting a new lease of life lately and appearing more and more. I’ve not seen this tray before, but it’s a really nice, simple design that has a very distinctive shape and colour that makes it so obvious which era it is from.
If I won, I’d love the green colour – the combination of teak and green is so very 1950s.
The white one!!!
Das weiße ist wunderbar schlicht und sieht sehr edel aus. Es würde wunderbar in unser Wohnzimmer passen oder mal für ein Frühstück im Bett <3
I love these trays. Trays to find which are neither ugly nor unhandy is a great challenge. I know it by own experience….
The blue one would be perfect for our new kitchen, which has one wall in a slightly darker blue.

grün grün grün, das ist das grün in meinem Wohnzimmer!! außer dem ist das Holz wunderschön!
I would love to have the white one – classic beauty 🙂
The white one, or the black, or the teal or the… you get the drift! They are all lovely but I would be biased towards the teal one if i HAD to pick. Lovely color!
Gerade war ich bei Ikea und wollte ein Tablett kaufen – aber das Holztablett welches ich wollte war ausverkauft. Vielleicht ein Wink des Schicksals? Ich brauche auf jeden Fall eins und dieses ist genau das, was bei mir perfekt passen würde!
Ich würde ganz klassisch das Weiße nehmen.
Herzliche Grüße!

What a fantastic giveaway! I love the green tray. Also, I have put up my first Urban Jungle challenge blog (the one for Easter). So much fun! http://teri-gonewalkabout2.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-perfect-lamb-moss-garden.html
Oh my gosh! These are so beautiful. I love the green but the white would probably work better in my house, so I’ll have to go for that one. All of them are lovely!
The white tray would be awesome.
Ohh, ich hätte gern das klassische Weiße. Weil es für den Rest meines Lebens zu allem passen wird, was ich draufstelle… ^^
Ganz lieben Gruß von Kerstin

what perfect timing. my dinner tray is falling apart at the seams, literally.
as i was reaching for the liquid nails, i saw this awesome giveaway, and fingers crossed. i love finn juhl furniture, and this tray follows the same design —lovely.
black, the color of my couch? green, the color of my eyes and my walls? either one would be great.
thank you so much for this chance. again, fingers crossed.
Oh my! I so want this tray Igor o.O
In white most probably though I like the black one too!
Such a gorgeous giveaway dear!
xoxo
oh so beautiful! my favorite is the white one 🙂 perhaps my everlasting quest for a plain shaped wood tray will have an end after all 😉
Beautiful, i love the Blue
Such a cool tray….I would probably want mine in black. Simple statement piece. 🙂
I would pick blue, or maybe the red. They’re so beautiful!
Nice giveaway! I’d go for a white one 🙂 Have a great weekend! xx
Ohhhh, schwarz würde soooo gut bei mir reinpassen 🙂
I love all the colors! I think I would choose black though-so classic looking.
It’s too hard to decide! I love the green and the white trays.

Definitiv das Grüne! Der Pastellton passt so gut zu dem Holz!
Ich hoffe bald wieder bei den UBJ Bloggers mitmachen zu können, aber in letzter Zeit war ich so in Anspruch genommen ^^’
Liebe Grüße, Jan
Love the red one!
I love it in the light blue shade. I really love the design of it.

Hallo Igor,
die Tabletts sind einfach wunderschön, genau das Design und die Details der 50er, welche ich so liebe. Am besten gefällt mir das schwarze, aber auf der Seite von architectmade wird schwarz nicht angeboten – hoffentlich nicht aus dem Programm genommen? Falls es schwarz nicht mehr gäbe, dann fände ich das grün auch genau passend!
Wünsche Dir einen schönen Sonntag!

I’ve been to Finn Juhl’s house – it was quite a mission to get there from Copenhagen on public transport!
I’d prefer the black but looks like it might be out of stock, in which case I’d settle for the green.
Thanks!
P.S. came via the Houzz newsletter – subscribing 🙂
They’re so beautifully made… I have to admit having a slight crush on the black one <3
I’d love the green & black one!!! I keep my fingers crossed… 🙂
This is such a classy giveaway, Igor! I would love to have the white one, the one like yours. I love the colour options but for e.g. food photography the white colour would be best. Common luck!
Black & white! Thanks Igor, you rock 😉
White would be an amazing birthday gift to myself 😉
Great post Igor. Love the blue version.
Red to match my dining room chairs please!
I’d be very happy with any of the colours 😉 They are all beautiful but, if pushed, I’d choose the blue one as it would work best with my decor. Cheers Igor!
