NV-53 Lounge Chairs, 1953

One of Finn Juhl’s most rare and sought after designs, designed in 1953. This chair was produced by master cabinetmaker Niels Vodder, Juhl’s collaborator throughout his most productive period from the mid-1940s to mid-1950s. The iconic sculpted, floating arm rests sit on bakelite stretchers. The seats retain their original wool fabric upholstery in fantastic condition. Reupholstery is available by request. Both chairs are branded by Niels Vodder under the seat.
