Pair of Mid-Century Modern Danish Teak ‘Japan’ Lounge Chairs by Finn Juhl – Original Design for France & Son, 1950s

Elevate your interior with this stunning pair of Mid-Century Modern ‘Japan’ Lounge Chairs, designed by iconic Danish designer Finn Juhl in the late 1950s for the renowned manufacturer France & Son. A true embodiment of Danish Modern design, these chairs are celebrated for their clean lines, minimalist form, and exceptional craftsmanship—making them a must-have for collectors, designers, and admirers of classic mid-century furniture.

Crafted from solid teak, the chairs exhibit a warm, rich patina that speaks to the timeless appeal and enduring quality of Scandinavian design. The structure is inspired by traditional Japanese joinery, resulting in an elegant silhouette that is both refined and functional. The architectural frame features soft curves, subtly tapered legs, and floating backrests—showcasing Juhl’s masterful understanding of form, proportion, and visual lightness.

These chairs retain their original vintage upholstery, offering a glimpse into their authentic mid-century character. However, to suit modern interiors and individual tastes, the listed price includes custom reupholstery in a fabric of your choice. We work with expert upholsterers and offer a curated selection of premium materials—please inquire for fabric options, lead times, and samples.

With their modest scale and ergonomic design, these lounge chairs are perfect for living rooms, reading nooks, offices, or design-forward hospitality settings. They’re not only comfortable and stylish but also a significant piece of design history.

The chairs are in excellent vintage condition, with sturdy joinery, beautifully aged teak, and well-preserved frames. Minimal signs of wear consistent with age add to their authenticity without compromising visual appeal or structural integrity.
