The Whisky Chair by Finn Juhl Was Recently Relaunched
Kalin Ned — June 18, 2022 — Art & Design
One extremely luxurious and captivating mid-century modern design from the late forties was relaunched by the House of Finn Juhl—the Whisky Chair. This piece has a stunning silhouette that creates a statement in any setting. This design has been described as "playfully provocative, perhaps even borderline politically incorrect."
The Whisky Chair was first debuted in 1948 during the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild Exhibition. It was never, however, officially put into production. Now, more than seven decades later, the House of Finn Juhl—established in 2001 to make the striking pieces of Danish architect and designer Finn Juhl available to wider audiences—has released the Whisky Chair. The piece has an American walnut wood frame and brass feet. It is available in leather or fabric upholstery.
