Picture sinking into unparalleled comfort by the warmth of a fireplace, a cup of chai in hand — that's the feeling the Finn Juhl Fireplace Chair was built to create.
The Design Story
Originally designed in 1946 and known as the BO59, the Fireplace Chair is one of Finn Juhl's earliest and most beloved pieces, prized for its informal comfort and sensual detailing — most notably, its signature paper-knife armrest. It captures Finn Juhl's early design language: the separation of carrying and carried elements, joined here by a graceful cross-brace for stability and elegance.
Handcrafted in Bangalore
Every Fireplace Chair is handcrafted in Bangalore by GULMOHAR WOOD WORKS, available in certified solid ash, oak, or walnut, and upholstered by hand in your choice of leather or textile.
