the pelican chair in oak light oil
Finn Juhl’s fascination for surrealism is clearly visible in the Pelican Chair. Out of all his many designs, the Pelican Chair was probably the one furthest ahead of its time.
When the Pelican Chair was presented at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition in 1940, it stood out with its unusual animalistic shape and sturdy legs.
The iconic chair blends in perfectly with today’s modern interiors.

Why we love Finn Juhl
Finn Juhl represents a sculptural and deeply human approach to modern furniture. His work broke away from the strict functionalism of early modernism and introduced a more expressive relationship between form and the body. Chairs feel almost like small architectural landscapes where wood, upholstery, and negative space interact with elegance and intention. We are drawn to the way Finn Juhl’s designs balance craftsmanship with imagination, creating pieces that remain both iconic and remarkably comfortable.
