Whisky Lounge Chair - 1948
Brand:
House of Finn Juhl
The Whisky Lounge Chair reflects Finn Juhl’s artistic approach to shape, function, and detail. Presented at the 1948 Cabinetmakers' Guild Exhibition as part of The Living Room of an Art Collector, it was not produced at the time. Unfazed by critics who found his designs extravagant, Juhl stayed true to his vision. The chair includes a mouth-blown whisky glass, is hand-upholstered in Denmark, and features a walnut frame.

Finn Juhl
Danish architect and furniture designer
Finn Juhl was a Danish architect and furniture designer whose sculptural, organic furniture helped define Danish Modern and shift furniture from pure utility to a form of spatial art.
Finn Juhl trained as an architect in Copenhagen and worked for the prominent modernist architect Vilhelm Lauritzen, contributing to major projects such as the Danish Broadcasting House (Radiohuset). He soon turned toward interiors and furniture, collaborating closely with cabinetmaker Niels Vodder and exhibiting at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild shows from 1937 onward. These exhibitions positioned him among the key figures who were breaking from heavy, historicist styles toward lighter, modern forms that became known as Danish design.
