The 108 Chair | Finn Juhl | 1946

At first glance, Finn Juhl's 108 Chair from 1946 appears deceptively simple. But on closer inspection, subtle details emerge – angled side bars and sliding cross bars introduce unexpected movement and a dynamic structure. Thanks to its durability and refined proportions, the 108 Chair is featured in several exclusive restaurants. Each chair is upholstered by hand in Denmark, in either textile or leather. The frame is available in oak, walnut, or black-painted finishes.

Subtlety with a Twist

A Closer Look at the 108 Chair

To this day, Finn Juhl's designs remain unconventional, defying expectations through subtle yet distinctive details. As FInn Juhl himself once remarked, "the deviation is in the detail." This holds true for his 108 Chair, defined by elegant features such as angled side bars and sliding cross bars. These elements introduce unexpected movement and a dynamic rhythm to the construction.

The Carried and the Carrying

A Sophisticated Addition to Any
Dining Space

Finn Juhl's philosophy of separating the carried from the carrying elements – thereby creating a light and floating expression – is clearly reflected in the 108 Chair. Though fully upholstered and exceptionally comfortable, the chair retains a visual lightness and looks beautiful from every angle. It features a finely crafted wooden frame with seat and back upholstered in either textile or leather, making it a sophisticated addition to any dining space.
