6 teak chairs model 197 by Finn Juhl, 1960s

In the work of Finn Juhl, wood is often treated almost like a sculptural material, and these chairs demonstrate this very well. The structure does not follow rigid or geometric lines but is built through gentle curves and soft joints that lighten the overall appearance and make the design extremely fluid. The backrest and seat continuously interact, creating an immediate sense of comfort even visually. The teak accompanies every part of the structure with warm tones and surfaces that change slightly depending on the light, highlighting the typical organic character of Danish production from that era. In contrast, the bright green upholstery introduces a more decisive and unexpected element. Although these chairs were designed in the 1960s, they maintain a very contemporary presence. Around a prominent table, they can define the environment without making it feel heavy, while in more essential spaces, they become almost architectural elements due 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 recognisable figures in 20th-century Scandinavian design.
