The 46 Chair | Finn Juhl | 1947
A year after designing the 46 Armchair for Bovirke in 1946, Finn Juhl created a slightly more minimalist version without armrests, now simply known as the 46 Chair. Like its sibling, the 46 Chair offers excellent comfort to the seated person, features intricate details, and represents the very best of Danish Modern furniture design. The chair is upholstered by hand in Denmark in leather or textile. The frame is available in oak or walnut.

The Very Best of Danish Modern Furniture Design
Finn Juhl originally designed the 46 Armchair for master cabinetmaker Niels Vodder and presented the chair at the Cabinetmakers' Guild Exhibition in 1946. After Finn Juhl designed the 46 Armchair, he also designed a slightly more minimalistic version without armrests for Bovirke in 1947 – which is now simply known as the 46 Chair because it originates from the 46 Armchair. Both the 46 Chair and the 46 Armchair represent the very best of Danish Modern furniture design.
Separating the Carried and the Carrying Elements
Finn Juhl clearly attempted to emphasize the lightness of the chair by separating the carried and the carrying elements. Beautifully crafted from a solid wooden frame in oak or walnut, combined with a seat and backrest upholstered in textile or leather. The chair is also available with armrests.
