The Chieftain Footstool was, as the name suggests, made for the iconic Chieftain Chair, one of Finn Juhl’s absolute masterpieces. The footrest carries forward the organic forms and the slender, floating expression for which the Chieftain Chair became renowned worldwide. Like the Chieftain Chair, the Chieftain Footstool is manufactured in walnut or oak. It is upholstered by hand in Denmark in leather.
Today the Chieftain Chair is perceived as one of the most important exponents of the Danish Modern movement in the US during the 1950s. For this reason, Finn Juhl is often considered the father of Danish Modern.

DESIGNED BY
Finn Juhl
Rather than thinking in terms of practical construction, Finn Juhl had the mind-set of a sculptor, when he shaped a piece of furniture. In the 1940s and 1950s, this way of working had never been seen before. His ambition was to design furniture with movement and life. Finn Juhl took pride in making both the structurally supportive elements of the furniture and the seated person look as though they are floating.
