HOUSE OF FINN JUHL LAUNCHES THE MODERN ART CHAIR

For the first time ever, since it was designed almost 70 years ago, House of Finn Juhl unveiled the MoMA competition’s runner-up at Salone del Mobile in Milan. In 1948, Museum of Modern Art’s hosts a design competition for chairs that are ready for in- dustrial production and will be retailed at low prices. The winner is Charles and Ray Eames’ famous plastic chair.
