Hans Henrik Sørensen, Co-founder of House of Finn Juhl, reflects on the anniversary:"The Chieftain Chair stands as the pinnacle of Finn Juhl's legacy as a furniture designer. It engages both the senses and emotions, serving as an investment not only for a lifetime but also for generations to come. We take immense pride in preserving Finn Juhl's cultural heritage through this exquisite deep olive-brown edition. Even after 75 years, the chair continues to captivate and inspire. It epitomizes unwavering quality, a global perspective, and a daring departure from the norms of its time."
Maintaining authenticity is paramount when House of Finn Juhl unveils a limited edition of this iconic chair. Crafted in-house in Denmark by skilled artisans, each chair undergoes a meticulous process. The rich hue of the wood is achieved through traditional techniques applied to FSC-certified oak, eschewing artificial dyes. Instead, a chemical reaction with the wood's tannic acid naturally imbues it with a deep, enduring colour. Following this, the chair receives multiple oil treatments, culminating in a luxuriously smooth matte finish.
