The bold and sculptural Baker Sofa, designed in 1951 with its two-piece backrest, marked Finn Juhl's American debut. Edgar Kaufmann Jr., a prolific art collector and director of the Industrial Design Department at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, introduced Finn Juhl to the American design circles.
In 1949, Kaufmann Jr. wrote an article about Finn Juhl in the magazine Interiors, which caught the attention of Mr. Hollis Baker, a furniture manufacturer from Michigan. Hollis Baker invited Finn Juhl to design a modern furniture collection for him. These events marked the beginning of what later on became known as Danish Modern, which started an export boom for Danish design to the United States.
