Lost Danish Treasure

This book draws on current research efforts to trace the complete history of the iconic Chieftain Chair by Danish designer Finn Juhl (1912-1989), and tells the story of how a priceless watercolour of the most emblematic design of Danish modernity was rediscovered.

Finn Juhl's watercolours for the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild exhibitions between 1940 and 1949 are organised, documented and analysed for the first time, shedding new light on the origins and identity of the very first Chieftain Chair.
