An iconic example of mid-century modern design, this Finn Juhl No. 48 open armchair dates to the 1950s and was manufactured by Baker Furniture, USA, one of the few American firms licensed to produce Juhl’s work. Celebrated for its sculptural form and exceptional comfort, the No. 48 exemplifies Juhl’s philosophy of treating furniture as functional art. The chair features a beautifully sculpted solid wood frame with elegantly tapered legs and softly curved arms that appear to float independently from the seat. The distinctive crescent-shaped backrest and generously contoured seat create a visually light yet structurally confident silhouette, characteristic of Juhl’s organic modernism. Upholstered in black leather, the chair retains a rich patina consistent with age and use, adding to its authenticity and character. This design is widely regarded as one of Finn Juhl’s most expressive seating forms and remains highly sought after by collectors and designers alike. A timeless statement piece, equally suited for a living room, study, or curated design interior.
