A Part of Danish Design History
While the Chieftain Chair immediately went into production, there was, as far as we know, only produced two Chieftain Sofas.
At Designmuseum Danmark in Copenhagen where the Cabinetmakers' Guild Exhibitions originally took place, the sofa is still part of the museum’s permanent collection of modern Danish furniture.
