Designed in 1946, the BO59 ‘Fireplace Chair’ (Westermanns Kaminstol) is a classic example of Finn Juhl’s distinctive design language. Produced by Bovirke, one of Denmark’s leading furniture manufacturers, the chair features an open, sculptural teak frame with gently curved armrests and a low, comfortable profile. The present pair has been reupholstered in grey wool.
Finn Juhl (1912–1989) trained as an architect at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and worked under Vilhelm Lauritzen before turning his attention to furniture design. Celebrated as one of the pioneers of Danish modernism, Juhl introduced a more expressive, organic style to mid-century furniture, combining craftsmanship with architectural thinking.
