The Pelican Lounge Chair

USD $1,020.00 – $1,080.00

The Pelican Chair was originally designed by Finn Juhl and first exhibited at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition. Inspired by the surrealist art of Jean Arp, the Pelican Chair features a sculptural, organic form with sweeping curves and bold legs.

The chair’s ergonomic shape cradles the body, offering comfort and a sensation of being embraced. Available with or without buttons on the backrest, the Pelican Chair is a timeless and easily recognizable icon of mid-century modern furniture.

Shown with Marigold Faux Wool Tweed Main Upholstery, Milk Faux Wool Tweed Seat and Buttons, on Light Ash with Satin Varnish Legs.

The Pelican Lounge Chair is a faithful reproduction of the original Finn Juhl Poet Sofa, model FJ 4000 & FJ 4001.

Designer

Finn Juhl

Finn Juhl (1912-1989) was a Danish architect and furniture designer who played a crucial role in popularizing Danish design internationally. He began his career after graduating from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1934. Juhl is renowned for his organic, sculptural approach to furniture design, recognizable in pieces like the Poet Sofa (1941) and the Pelican Chair (1940). His work often features curved forms and a separation between the bearing and borne elements. Juhl's designs blend functionality with artistic expression, challenging the prevailing strict functionalism of his time.
