Overview

The FJ Clock was designed as a part of the interior of the New York United Nation Trusteeship Council Chamber in 1950 and it captures the essence of Finn Juhl’s design aesthetic. The circular shape emphasizing the natural beauty of the precious wood (Original certified Tectona Grandis teak wood) and the numberless aluminum dial (Japanese silent movement clockwork) demonstrate his talent for smart minimalism.

The FJ clock is part of Architectmade's collection.
