Finn Juhl

The Danish architect and designer Finn Juhl (1912-1989) studied architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under Kay Fisker, but was self-taught in furniture design. His best-known designs were created from 1937 in collaboration with the master cabinetmaker Niels Vodder: the Pelican Chair (1940), the Poet Sofa (1941), the Chieftain Chair (1949) and the Japan Chair (FD137, 1953). Juhl saw himself more as a sculptor than as a constructor; his design language visually separates the seat from the supporting frame and creates floating, sculptural seat shells in teak. Today his designs are reissued by House of Finn Juhl.
