The Chair 45 – Finn Juhl Style is inspired by one of the defining designs of Scandinavian Modern furniture. Originally introduced by Finn Juhl in 1945 at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild Exhibition, the Chair 45 helped establish his signature approach of visually separating the upholstered seat and back from the supporting wood frame. The result is a remarkably light and sculptural chair in which the seat appears to float within the surrounding frame.
Our version of the Chair 45 captures this distinctive construction with a beautifully sculpted solid Walnut hardwood frame and carefully shaped arms that flow organically from front to back. Traditional furniture-making techniques, including internal mortise-and-tenon joinery, provide strength while preserving the graceful appearance of the exposed wood frame. High-resilient multi-density foam provides supportive, comfortable seating while maintaining the chair's clean profile.
Our Chair 45 is upholstered in our exclusive semi-aniline top-grain Italian leather, available in a wide selection of colors. The solid walnut frame is finished in a natural clear coat.
With its floating upholstered elements, sculptural hardwood frame, and organic proportions, the Chair 45 is as much an expression of fine woodworking as it is a comfortable lounge chair. Its distinctive form works beautifully in residential interiors, executive offices, reception areas, and other spaces where Scandinavian Modern design and craftsmanship are appreciated.
