The 109 Chair | Finn Juhl | 1955

Although it features several design highlights, it is the detailed armrests that make the 109 Chair from 1955 truly unique. Carefully shaped with a subtle hollow at the tip, the armrests are designed to perfectly fit the pad of a thumb. Like its design sibling, the 108, the 109 is ideal for both private homes and restaurants. The chair is upholstered by hand in Denmark in textile or leather. The frame is available in oak or walnut.
