Pelican Chair
Product Information
It is shocking to think of Finn Juhl designing this sculptural chair in ***0 – that was *1 years ago, and the Pelican Chair is still “out there” by today’s standards. With graceful curves that befriend the body and wrap the sitter in its embrace, the Pelican is true to Juhl’s idea that “a chair is not just a product of decorative art in a space, it is a form and a space in itself.” And while the influence of contemporary sculpture is clear, Juhl was quick to clarify that “furniture is furniture, not sculpture.” The upholstery is hand sewn onto the frame; some colors (see below) are finished with tufted s. This original is an authentic, fully licensed product of Onecollection, House of Finn Juhl™. Made in Denmark.
 

• Colors with tufted s: grey with red cushion and red s; teal with light blue cushion and light blue s; and cream with leather sand cushion and leather sand s.
• Colors without tufted s: tan with brown cushion (no s); charcoal with grey cushion (no s); plum with plum cushion (no s); cream with cream cushion (no s)

Materials
Steel frame molded in hard cellular plastic/MDI; walnut legs; **0% canvas/linen bottom cover; **0% recyclable Pantera foam with fiber cotton and water-based latex glue; hand-sewn double-stitched upholstery.

FINN JUHL
DENMARK (********9)
When you look at the graceful shapes and sensual curves of Finn Juhl's work, you may be shocked to realize that he designed these pieces *0 to *0 years ago. A pioneering force in his own country, Finn Juhl is also credited along with fellow Danes Arne Jacobsen, Hans Wegner, Borge Mogensen and Poul Kjaerholm for introducing Danish modern to mid-century America.
Although he initially wanted to become an art historian, his father persuaded him to attend the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts School of Architecture. By ***4, he had a prestigious position with architect Vilhelm Lauritzen, and explored the functionalism movement by creating clean, geometrical buildings like the broadcasting house Radiohuset, a pinnacle of Danish architecture that now houses the Royal Danish Academy of Music.
Juhl considered himself an architect of the interior as well as the exterior. He began designing furniture like the Poet Sofa (***1) for use in his own home, located north of Copenhagen. Juhl felt that furniture, handicraft and art should create a completeness of the house, which in his case was decorated with works of the Danish painters of the time. Today, the Finn Juhl House an early example of open-plan design with views to its garden from every room is part of the Ordrupgaard Art Museum.
In ***7, Juhl began collaborating with master cabinetmaker Niels Vodder, and the pair was the buzz of the ***5 Cabinetmakers' Guild exhibition with their expressive, sculptural pieces. One such item was the Model *5 Armchair (***5), which broke from tradition by freeing the upholstered areas from the wood frame.
At age *9, Juhl made his U.S. debut in ***1, at the "Good Design" exhibit in Chicago and at MoMA in New York, and he represented Denmark in creating the interior of a meeting hall at the United Nations headquarters. A few years later, SAS asked Juhl to redesign the interior of its air terminals in Europe and Asia.
Finn Juhl is still winning awards decades after his death: The Wallpaper Design Award ***0 was awarded to the Baker Sofa (***1) in the category of Best Reissue.
