A pair of classic lounge chairs by extraordinary Danish furniture designer Finn Juhl, Model 136
This pair of teak lounge chairs with a fabric seat and “floating” back upholstered in a winter white fabric is one of the most technical and sophisticated of Finn Juhl’s designs. These chairs with clear reference to his earlier work with cabinet maker Niels Vodder were given the name “Model 136” and were designed in 1956 and manufactured in the 1960s by France & Søn, and they have maker’s metal plaque to prove this. Finn Juhl is considered to be one of the most influential Danish Modern furniture designers and in our view, this is one of the most attractive of his lounge chairs with a very bold and timeless design featuring a sculpted solid teak frame with equally sculpted seat cushions that appear to float above the frame on brass supports.

Finn Juhl
Finn Juhl (1912–1989) was a Danish architect and designer, widely recognized for his innovative contributions to modern furniture design. He is often considered one of the key figures in the development of Scandinavian modernism, alongside other iconic designers such as Hans Wegner and Arne Jacobsen.
Juhl's work is characterized by its sculptural elegance, organic forms, and a strong emphasis on functionality without sacrificing aesthetics. His furniture designs often feature clean lines, a harmonious balance between materials, and an unusual sense of comfort that was ahead of its time. He was one of the first designers to introduce a more organic and artistic approach to furniture, moving away from the more rigid, functional forms that were popular earlier in the 20th century.
