In a review of the Cabinetmakers' Guild exhibition in 1946, the architect Ebbe Kornerup wrote: “I wonder if there is anyone who is better at making chairs than Cabinetmaker Vodder - the craft can probably not be raised to a higher plane than that of Finn Juhl - no room will seem lifeless if his chairs cast their shadows on the walls and floor..”.
