Presented at the « Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild » exhibition in 1940, the Pelican armchair by Finn Juhl immediately stood out for its unusual shape and sturdy legs. Although the success of the Pelican armchair was immediate, it would be 61 years before it went into production in 2001.Finn Juhl’s fascination with surrealism is clearly visible in the Pelican armchair. Of all his creations, it was probably the most ahead of its time. The Pelican armchair features a characteristically soft and organic seat, hand-upholstered in Denmark, and solid wood legs. The wrap-around shape of the armchair provides great comfort and almost seems to reproduce a friendly embrace when you sit in it.
