Finn juhl chair price.
Finn juhl for niels vodder nv45 teak and fabric denmark design 1945 production 1950s.
The iconic chieftain chair is one of finn juhl s absolute masterpieces representing the peak of his career as a furniture designer.
For this reason finn juhl is often considered the father of danish modern.
It remains unclear why the cushion has yet to see the light of day but juhl s original idea complements the chair well.
Rather than thinking in terms of practical construction finn juhl had the mindset of a sculptor when he shaped a piece of furniture.
This nv45 chair by finn juhl and niels vodder is executed in teak and blue fabric.
In 2012 the chieftain chair won the danish design award classic.
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.
Inspired by modern art the chieftain chair with its organic shapes liberated itself from traditional danish furniture design and strict functionalism in both shape construction and materials.
At its introduction in 1949 the chair marked a renewal of the danish furniture design tradition.
