The Reading Chair from 1953 exemplifies unpretentious elegance. The chair was designed for the Danish company Bovirke, with a variation created for Baker Furniture in the United States. Distinguished by its intricate details, the chair is perfectly suited for private homes and restaurants. When dining in the Reading Chair, one will notice how seated individuals naturally rest their arms on the horizontal back piece. The frame is available in solid oak with a back piece in plywood of oak and walnut with an outer layer in walnut. Horizontal top piece in solid oak and walnut. The chair can also be ordered in a fully black-painted version or entirely in walnut, ash or oak. The seat can be upholstered in either textile or leather. Additionally, a version of the chair with a veneered seat is also available.
Finn Juhl's distinctive Reading Chair is both understated and beloved. The Reading Chair, which was produced in Denmark by Bovirke, is considered a timeless and versatile classic. With its clean lines and subtle details, it suits private homes as well as hotels and restaurants.
Finn Juhl designed the Reading Chair as both a dining room chair and as a reading chair. It is designed to be equally comfortable whether you choose to sit facing the front or the back. This might sound both odd and complicated, but thanks to Finn Juhl’s genius, the result was a simple, unpretentious, yet thoroughly well-designed and visually pleasing chair.

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.
