This nv45 chair by finn juhl and niels vodder is executed in teak and blue fabric.
Rather than thinking in terms of practical construction finn juhl had the mindset of a sculptor when he shaped a piece of furniture.
The chair is relaunched with an optional cushion which has hitherto only been seen in finn juhl s beautiful watercolor painting of the chair from 1953.
With this approach he created pieces like the pelican the poet sofa the chieftain chair and the 45 chair which today have become icons of the danish modern design tradition.
In 2012 the chieftain chair won the danish design award classic.
For this reason finn juhl is often considered the father of danish modern.
The iconic chieftain chair is one of finn juhl s absolute masterpieces representing the peak of his career as a furniture designer.
It remains unclear why the cushion has yet to see the light of day but juhl s original idea complements the chair well.
Today it is perceived as one of the most important exponents of the danish modern moveme.
