+ OVERVIEW

Finn Juhl was also listed as one of the greatest designers in Danish modern design. One of his well-known pieces is the “Chieftain Chair,” in which he deconstructs the lines on the back and blends the elements of Egyptian tribes, such as helmets and armors. “Chieftain Chair” also incorporates elegant lines, making the overall structure appear simple and graceful. Frederik IX, the then King of Denmark, also sat on the chair when it was put on display at the exhibition. Such kingly manner has attracted countless consumers to experience it in person.
