Uniting ancient Egyptian and Danish Modern design principles into one iconic structure, the Egyptian Dining Chair is characterised by its unique craftsmanship and the timeless nature of working with solid wood. Smooth, slender curves and sharp angles join together to form an organic appearance that embodies both strength and elegant simplicity. Finished with luxurious leather upholstery, the Egyptian Chair is an inviting, supportive addition to your kitchen or dining space.
Finn Juhl was born on the 30th January 1912 in Frederiksberg, Denmark.
Although trained in architecture, it was his modern furniture designs that made him an international name. His first pieces of furniture were designed for his own apartment and were manufactured by the young Danish carpenter, Niels Vodder.
In 1946 Juhl got his first major interior assignment at Bing and Grøndahl’s store at Amagertorv in Copenhagen. This later became one of his main works and was awarded with the Eckersberg Medal in 1947. Soon after, he was given the opportunity to help furnish the new headquarters of the United Nations in NY - something which established his name with the American audience.
He is most famous today for his iconic furniture designs including the Chieftan Armchair and the 108 Dining Chair which are now produced by the House of Finn Juhl.
