Hans J. Wegner Rare Finn Juhl, Chieftain Chair By Soren Horn / Niels Roth Andersen

Product Details

Product Description

Here we have an exquisitely crafted piece of furniture available for purchase. Finn Juhl's renowned chieftain chair, created in 1949, features tribal imagery and Juhl's innovative design technique that creates a "floating" effect through the separation of seat, back, and frame. The distinct "horns" at the top corners pay homage to the design of ancient Egyptian chairs. This particular edition, crafted by Niels Roth Andersen and Soren Horn, boasts a teak frame with light tan leather upholstery, as evidenced by the stamp. There is some slight wear on the leather due to age and some marks may be present. Overall, this piece is a true masterpiece that represents a renewal of Danish furniture design tradition. Its unique organic shape breaks away from traditional functionalism, and in fact, earned the Chieftain Chair the Danish Design Award, Classic in 2012. Finn Juhl's influence on Danish design cannot be overstated; his impact can be seen in the work of other famous designers such as Peter Hvidt, Hans Wegner, Arne Jacobsen, and Borge Mogensen.
