The chair was first displayed at the 1949 Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition alongside the acclaimed Chieftain Chair. Both chairs are excellent examples of Juhl’s genius within his field. Riding the success of this particular exhibition Juhl experienced his international breakthrough and subsequently became known as one of the fathers of the famous Danish Modern design style.
Many years later, Juhl himself spoke about visiting the Louvre Museum in Paris where he became so enthralled by an antique Egyptian chair, that he “stole” its construction when he designed his own Egyptian Chair.
Onecollection’s relaunched Egyptian Chair is characterized by its unique craftsmanship. It is produced in walnut or teak with leather or fabric upholstery.
