Description

Design critics have described Finn Juhl’s Egyptian Chair as a miraculous mix of ancient Egyptian design principles, modern rhythms and aerodynamics. 

The chair was first shown at the 1949 Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition together with the acclaimed Chieftain Chair. Both chairs are excellent examples of Juhl’s genius in his field. It was on the back of this particular exhibition that Juhl had his international break- through and subsequently became known as one of the fathers of the famous Danish Modern design style.
