Its organic form is a good example of the way in which Finn Juhl has been inspired by modern free spirited art.

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.”

The Pelican Chair is clearly a result of Finn Juhl’s inspiration from artistic interpretations of the human body – particularly in surrealism and cubism.

Typical of Finn Juhl, the Pelican is very comfortable and manufactured according to best craftsmanship traditions with your choice of cashmere fabric or Australian wool upholstery and solid walnut wood legs.

Designed by Finn Juhl

DENMARK (January 30, 1912 - May 17, 1989) 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 60 to 70 years ago. A pioneering force in his own country, 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.
