France Chair | House Of Finn Juhl

The France Chair from 1956 was designed for the Danish company France & Son and was aimed at the American market. While understated in its expression, it is recognized for its fine details, such as the seat and back being subtly lifted from the frame, while the armrests are adorned with the iconic paper-knife detail. The chair is available in oak, smoked oak, black painted oak, or walnut with hand sewn upholstery in textile or leather.

The France Chair was designed for the American market in the late 1950s and originally delivered flat-packed as knock-down furniture – a core part of France’s successful business model in the US. Today, however, the chair is delivered fully assembled.

Though one of the few Finn Juhl chairs made for industrial production, it retains fine detailing. The seat and backrest are lifted from the frame, and the armrests feature the iconic paper knife detail found on the 45 Chair.

With its striking organic wooden frame and hand-upholstered leather or textile seat and back, the France Chair has a timeless elegance. Whether in a home office, living room, or lobby, it embodies the perfect balance of organic design and exceptional comfort.
