We are pleased to present a pair of iconic Finn Juhl 45 Chairs.
These 2000s edition chairs are signed by House of Finn Juhl. See label. They are made with an walnut frame and cognac leather upholstery.
Much has been written about this iconic chair design. In the fall of 1945, Finn Juhl unveiled the 45 Chair at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild Exhibition. With this chair, he introduced a groundbreaking design separating the carried from the carrying elements – something previously unseen. Today, the chair is widely regarded as one of the most revolutionary and iconic pieces in Danish furniture design.
While Finn Juhl had already begun exploring the idea of separating the upholstered and wooden elements in earlier works, the 45 Chair marked a turning point. Its sculptural backrest and fluid, organic form elevated the concept to new heights, firmly establishing Finn Juhl as a leading figure in 20th-century design.
In a review of Finn Juhl's stand at the Cabinetmakers' Guild Exhibition in 1945, the architect Erik Herløw wrote:
"In the early years, Finn Juhl's attempts seemed exaggerated, but now it is much more interesting to observe the result he has achieved by going his own ways. Most beautiful is an armchair, where the frame is organically shaped as a bone, able to support the muscles of an arm and the weight of a body. The expression of the chair is reminiscent of a weapon, sharpened by human hands."
