PRODUCT INFO

”Our passion is re-launching Finn Juhl’s furniture, in respect to his legacy, but in a modern reality. The details must be as fine and pure as if it came from the original cabinetmakers’ workshop, but our understanding of quality also includes durability. Our products have to be so durable that they can be enjoyed by users today and by generations to come. Today, our House of Finn Juhl furniture is mainly manufactured in Denmark. Our upholstered furniture such as the Poet Sofa and the Pelican Chair are entirely hand-sewn in the same Danish tradition as the old ones. However, when it comes to our wooden furniture, we have chosen to utilise modern technology, which goes hand-in-hand with excellent craftsmanship in order to make Juhl’s visions come true. The intricately shaped wooden frames in the Chieftain Chair for instance, are masterly crafted by our skilled Japanese friends in Yamagata. Without this approach, it would not be possible to achieve the fantastic finish and delicate detail that was Finn Juhl’s trademark. Besides, several of Juhl’s iconic designs would never be produced because they would have been too delicate to use. Juhl himself was aware of this and famously said: ”One shouldn’t despair over the fact that some of the developments one has hoped for were never produced but only became a beginning. Perhaps they will be revived some day in the future ... when the time is ripe.”
