A resurrected piece of classic modernist furniture from the archives of Finn Juhl, The 77 Chair is a simple lounge chair design that celebrates strong lines and high comfort. Upholstered in a pair of beautiful Kvadrat fabrics, The 77 Chair sits well in a home or commercial space, thanks to its industrial aesthetic.
First introduced in 1953, The 77 Chair saw the celebrated Danish design house take a more streamlined approach to design, clearly inspired by utilitarian thinking. Also available in leather upholstery.
Finn Juhl was born on the 30th January 1912 in Frederiksberg, Denmark.
Although trained in architecture, it was his modern furniture designs that made him an international name. His first pieces of furniture were designed for his own apartment and were manufactured by the young Danish carpenter, Niels Vodder.
In 1946 Juhl got his first major interior assignment at Bing and Grøndahl’s store at Amagertorv in Copenhagen. This later became one of his main works and was awarded with the Eckersberg Medal in 1947. Soon after, he was given the opportunity to help furnish the new headquarters of the United Nations in NY - something which established his name with the American audience.
He is most famous today for his iconic furniture designs including The Chieftan Chair and The 108 Chair which are now produced by the House of Finn Juhl.
