Pelican Chair with buttons

The 'Pelican Chair', which I spied among the wonderfully sensual furniture by Finn Juhl, is quite cute.

In no other of his designs is Finn Juhl's fascination with surrealism more evident than in the 'Pelican Chair'. With this design he was probably the furthest ahead of his time.

Finn Juhl usually named his furniture after the year in which it was designed, but over time the nickname 'Pelican' stuck to the chair. Initially only a few were made, but the likeable 'Pelican' was thankfully rediscovered and reissued.

The characteristic soft and organic shape is almost like a body giving you a friendly hug.

The buttons on this version make the 'Pelican Chair' even more likeable than it already is. You can choose them either in the same fabric colour or in leather.
