While I was searching for Ib Kofod-Larsen credenzas, I came across this site that was patting themselves on the back as being a website founded by experienced and knowledgable MCM enthusiasts and collecters who want to share their knowledge and enhusiasm with the rest of the world. I don't claim to be an expert or anything close like they seem to claim to be. I am simply a hobbyist who collects MCM when I have the funds. However, I immediately noticed a glaring mistake on their websites attributes. They attributed the posted credenza to Finn Juhl. Even me in my lack of infinite wisdom immediately knew who the designer was (NOT Finn Juhl). I consider this particular credenza pretty iconic and don't see how an 'expert' MCM collector/dealer/etc could make this mistake. It is a well-known Arne Vodder design. I do believe Juhl might have mentored Vodder but that does not make a Finn Juhl attribution to an Arne Vodder piece correct.Just because Finn Juhl also made a credenza using blue colors does not immediately make every credenza with blue in it a Finn Juhl piece.
And here is the Finn Juhl piece that I believe they were actually referring to. Interestingly, I have also seen this piece attributed to Arne Vodder. DWR reissued this piece as Finn Juhl so I assume that is probably the correct designer. Yes, there are similarities (likely because one mentored the other) but the pieces are noticably different IMO.
