House of Finn Juhl Grasshopper Lounge Chair

Designer
Finn Juhl

The iconic Grasshopper chair was first exhibited in 1938 at Niels Vodder's stand at the Copenhagen Guild Exhibition. In a time where 'heavy', traditional furniture dominated, the Grasshopper proved to be quite the divisive piece, with many not in favour of the chair's artistic, expressive appearance.

Designed By

Finn Juhl (1912-1989) was the first Danish furniture designer to be recognized internationally. He studied architecture at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen with Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen, but as a furniture designer he was self-taught, a fact he always emphasized.

Juhl began designing furniture in the late 1930s, in the beginning mostly pieces intended for himself, but after setting up his own office in 1945 he soon became known for his unusual, expressive and sculptural pieces.

One of Finn Juhl's most well-known pieces is the Chieftains Chair. Designed in 1949, it is a fine example of Juhl's great idea of separating the sculpturally shaped seat and back from the wooden frame.
