## Summary

Mid-century modern lounge chair featuring black leather upholstery with button tufting and a sculptural walnut wood frame.

## Description

Finn Juhl created a chair for the 1949 Cabinetmakers’ Guild in Copenhagen. During the exhibition, King Frederick IX sat in the chair, causing a journalist to suggest calling it the “King’s Chair.” But Juhl resisted and said, “You had better call it a chieftain’s chair,” which the journalist did. (At some point the apostrophe was dropped.) With distinctive shapes inspired by primitive weaponry and a seat that appears suspended above the frame, the sculptural form of the Chieftain Chair changed the future of Danish design. Made in Denmark.
