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.

Finn Juhl

Finn Juhl 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.
