Pélican Armchair Finn Juhl
The Pelican armchair, designed by the famous Danish designer Finn Juhl in the 1940s, is a true work of art of Scandinavian furniture.
Its name evokes its organic, enveloping shape, reminiscent of the body of a pelican.
Its soft, curved lines create a silhouette that is both elegant and comforting.
The Pelican armchair offers exceptional comfort thanks to its wide, deep seat.
Its thick solid oak legs give it a real signature look. Design Finn Juhl®

Product Details
Our seats are made of hides and furs. These are living materials that evolve over time. Hide is a naturally impermeable material which makes it very easy to clean.
Vacuuming your seat regularly. If stained, scrub the area with cold water only, without detergent or washing powder, you will risk changing the integrity of our products.
If your furniture has deteriorated, our workshop is able to respond to your request for your product repair and restoration. We invite you to contact our sales department.
Paying attention to where you place your seat will contribute to its longevity. It should be protected from damp and prolonged exposure to light.
Choose natural colours if you are exposed to strong sunlight, especially in the mountains, as they do not fade. If you opt for tinted skins, install anti-UV filters on the windows.
However, our tinted hides may lose colour saturation and fade slightly over time.
WORKSHOP SECRET
The Pelican Armchair clearly reveals Finn Juhl's attraction to surrealism. With this armchair, he also demonstrated a great deal of avant-garde. When it was unveiled at the Copenhagen cabinetmakers' exhibition in 1940, it surprised with its singular silhouette and solid legs.
Finn Juhl usually named his creations according to the year in which they were designed, but the nickname ‘Pelican’ became established over time. Only a few examples were made, and the chair was almost forgotten until it was reissued by House of Finn Juhl in 2001.
finn juhl (1912 – 1989)
Finn Juhl, one of the greatest Danish designers of the 20th century, was renowned for his bold approach to design. The Pelican armchair is one of his most emblematic creations, demonstrating his talent for creating furniture that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
