Finn Juhl's fascination for surrealism is clearly visible in the Pelican Chair. Among all his designs, the Pelican Chair was perhaps the furthest ahead of its time. The Pelican Chair is produced in two versions - with or without buttons. Please note, some fabric options are only available on the version with buttons due to how the upholstery lays on the frame.

When the Pelican Chair was presented at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild Exhibition in 1940, it stood out with its unusual animalistic shape and sturdy legs. Finn Juhl normally named his furniture simply after the year in which they were designed, but over time the nickname "The Pelican" stuck to the chair. Even though the Pelican Chair became instantaneously famous, 61 years would pass before it was put into production in 2001. The characteristic soft and organic shape is almost like a body holding a body. When you sit down, the chair practically gives you a friendly hug. Like many of Finn Juhl's later designs, the chair offers several comfortable ways to sit.

The iconic chair blends in perfectly with today's modern interiors. It is a perfect match for the Pelican Table and the Poet Sofa. Additional options such as a seat cushion & buttons in a contrasting material are also available, please contact Hive for assistance ordering configurations not shown online.
