Designed in 1938, the Grasshopper Chair was one of Finn Juhl’s first attempts at expressing his artistic freedom through furniture, marking the beginning of a long line of designs that would establish his reputation. Although it was never produced during his lifetime, the chair gained iconic status through numerous illustrations in design literature and was finally put into production in 2019. The chair is hand-upholstered in Denmark, available in textile or leather, with a frame crafted in oak or walnut.
The remarkable Grasshopper Chair was first exhibited at Niels Vodder’s stand during the Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition in 1938. Two chairs were presented alongside a mobile bar cabinet, with illustrations of exquisite cocktails adorning the walls – a bold and extravagant display in contrast to the otherwise traditional and weighty furniture showcased at the time.

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.
