Story
One of Finn Juhl's few lamps
This lamp is one of the few Finn Juhl (1912-1989) ever designed. It dates from 1963, and the pendant and table lamp were reintroduced as FJ Elements in 2025, including the original two-toned grey variant.
Elements
The name comes from Juhl's hand sketches, in which he described the lamp as composed of "elements". The early drawings record its form, proportions and construction, and the concept for a whole lamp series. The pendant is the centrepiece of the series, and by adding what Juhl called a "linking element" he adapted the design into a table lamp as well.
