Finn Juhl Pelikan armchair

Pelikan

An unusual piece of seating now, the Finn Juhl Pelikan armchair must have looked bizarre when it launched almost 70 years ago.

Yes, Finn Juhl designed this seat back in 1940, a slightly exaggerated version of the classic wingback chair, offering a slightly lower slung seat, compensating for a wider/chunkier seat that's perfect for an afternoon nap.

The stumpy legs are available in various wood finishes and you can opt for a wood or fabric finish for the seating. Prices start at around £3,100 for this design classic.
