Onecollection reissues Finn Juhl's Danish mid-century FJ 136 chair

Milan 2016: furniture manufacturer Onecollection has relaunched a 1958 chair by Finn Juhl, which played an important role in the proliferation of Danish design
Considered one of the leading figures in 20th-century Danish design, Juhl originally created the FJ 136 chair for British entrepreneur C W F France.

Its form is typical of mid-century Danish furniture, with an organically curved wooden frame, and separate upholstered backrest and seat.
However, it was created for industrial production so featured a more simple construction than many of Juhl's other designs.
The chair was aimed at the American market, and has since been credited with helping to grow the international market for Danish furniture.
