Description
In the mid-20th century, Finn Juhl had a productive collaboration with the furniture manufacturer Søren Willadsen. The Willadsen Chair is characterised by its semi-oval gap that allows the backrest to arch freely above the seat. The Willadsen Chair is upholstered by hand in Denmark and is available in textile. The legs are available in FSC® certified oak and American walnut.
Now named the Willadsen Series, the pieces are masterful examples of Finn Juhl's artistic and unorthodox approach to design. The semi-oval gap allows the backrest to arch freely above the seat – a bold choice in 1950 that introduced a sense of lightness and showcased Finn Juhl's ability to redefine the traditional upholstered form. The rounded silhouette embraces the seated person in a dynamic gesture, while the slightly angled legs elevate the design and enhance its weightless quality.
