Pelican Chair designed by Finn Juhl, edition produced by House of Finn Juhl. Upholstered in rich cognac leather, this example highlights the Pelican Chair's sculptural silhouette through a warm, even patina. The leather has softened beautifully over time, with darker burnishing along the sweeping arms and gentle creasing across the loose seat cushion. Four rounded walnut legs lift the generously proportioned body, giving the chair a surprising sense of lightness.
Originally designed in 1940, the Pelican Chair departed from the rigid geometry of its era in favor of soft, organic forms inspired by contemporary sculpture. This House of Finn Juhl edition remains faithful to Juhl's original vision while showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship for which the company is known.
