Set of 6 teak chairs model 197 by Finn Juhl, 1960s

In Finn Juhl's work, wood is often treated almost as a sculpting material, and these chairs demonstrate this very well. The structure does not follow rigid or geometric lines, but is built through light curves and soft joints that lighten the overall look and make the design extremely fluid.

The backrest and seat interact continuously, creating an immediate sense of comfort even visually. The teak accompanies every passage of the structure with warm tones and surfaces that change slightly depending on the light, emphasizing the organic character typical of much Danish production of the period. In contrast, the bright green upholstery introduces a more decisive and unexpected element.

Despite being chairs designed in the 1960s, they maintain a very contemporary presence. Around a prominent table, they can define the environment without making it heavy, while in more essential spaces they almost become architectural elements thanks to the balance between solids, voids, and proportions.

An original vintage set that retains all the design sensitivity and formal freedom that made Finn Juhl one of the most recognizable figures in 20th-century Scandinavian design.
