Finn Juhl easy chairs

This rare pair of easy chairs, model FD-136, was designed by Finn Juhl and produced by France & Son in Denmark in 1956. Crafted from solid teak, the frames showcase a warm, rich patina developed over time, highlighting Juhl’s organic and sculptural approach. The elegantly curved armrests and tapered legs contribute to the chairs’ refined aesthetic and structural grace.

The seats and backrests are upholstered in Gabriel Savak plain fabric, a design by Tove Kindt-Larsen, in a neutral off-white tone that harmonizes beautifully with the teak wood. The gently curved backrest is attached at a floating angle, a hallmark of Juhl’s design that imparts a sense of lightness and balance, while enhancing comfort.

Finn Juhl (1912–1989) was a seminal figure in Danish modernism, celebrated for his fluid, sculptural furniture forms that elevated Danish design on the international stage. His collaborations with France & Son helped bring his visionary work to a wider audience, thanks to the company’s mastery in woodworking and production quality.

France & Son, a key mid-century Danish furniture manufacturer, was known for precision craftsmanship and high-quality execution of iconic designer pieces.

This pair exemplifies the timeless elegance and craftsmanship of mid-century Danish modern design, combining historical authenticity with updated upholstery for contemporary use.

Dimensions per chair: 80 cm width, 78 cm depth, 78.5 cm height (31.5 x 30.7 x 30.9 inches), seat height 35 cm (13.8 inches). The chairs are in excellent condition, with minimal frame wear and newly restored upholstery.
