Here is Baker’s ‘New World’ knockoff of Finn Juhl’s Reading Chair. Baker offered their furniture mostly in ‘Groups’ and Finn Juhl was one of those groups, but his was the only one that was a solo, named designer. New World was an anonymous collection of designs which could be presented together, although Baker was known for mixing at their own discretion. Some of Finn Juhl’s twice annual market presentations were arranged by him and they did not mix in the other Groups, but other times Finn’s designs would be mixed with the likes of New World, Far East, or the occasional small assortment of designs that Baker commissioned and presented however they pleased from a wide swathe of designers: I.M. Pei, Van Keppel - Green, Philip Johnson, Michael Platt, etc, etc including in-house designers. New World itself, in this large format book as catalog, undated, but going by the known dating of Finn’s designs has to be from 1954 or 1955, was at least 65 contemporary designs. The unifying element, insofar as there was one, seems to have been the ebony finish, with teak, cherry, and cane as accent materials. less
