Finn Juhl reached his absolute peak as a pioneering furniture designer with the imposing Chieftain Chair at the 1949 Guild Exhibition. The chair is probably the most well known of all his chairs and a powerful design, which not only dominates in size and extravagance, but which also needs a lot of space around it to do itself justice. It is in true and proper fashion a Chieftain. It has, with good reason, been called an icon of Danish furniture design.
