Finn Juhl and Fritz Hansen  

I mean import. Edit button is gone.

Btw, cdsilva: Was that your reupholstering project on the picture?

No, it was not.

However, I am almost finished with a different Finn Juhl chair reupholstering project 🙂

Geez! Vodder?

Yeah, that is a Vodder. cdsilva is a luck generating machine.

And no, Dux did not just import Swedish stuff. I think I remember quite a lot of Fritz Hansen. I would have to go digging through some catalogs to list it all.

Very nice, cdsilva! What's the fabric?

Tonus 3, colorway 201.

I

Ooo, good call! Tonus is one of my all time favorites.

It's beautiful cd. I am equal parts jealous and happy for you. Surely has to be one of the pinnacle designs of people frequenting this forum? I'd have this over almost anything else in the seating department.

In regards to the chair this topic is about, as soon as I saw it dismantled it made me feel it was unlikely to be a Juhl design, and wanted to suggest that possibly the attribution had come back around to Fritz Hansen in a way that wasn't accurately authenticated.

The internet is great for disseminating information, unfortunately by that same merit it's also very good at spreading misinformation and perpetuating to the extent that even the people who the should ostensibly posses the information start believing it. I've seen it in other industries, I have no trouble believing it can happen here.

But it appears (not that I should be surprised) you are all several steps ahead of me in discovering that!

This might be the last addition to this thread but I got another mail from the head of design at FH. He writes: "There is an extremely similar product in our 1960 catalog but the armrests are different and is not recorded as a Finn Juhl chair but designed by Fritz Hansen himself. If there is a FH stamp on the chair it is produced by Fritz Hansen but the armrests shown has not been registered in our system. This might indicate that it could be a prototype or that the chair is a small batch chair produced by Fritz Hansen.

There is no indication in our archive of any connection to Finn Juhl. Finn Juhl delivered some suggestions to Fritz Hansen in the late 60

Fritz Hansen took the reference from their site. They no longer claim that this is a design by Finn Juhl. But it is a nice chair anyway, no matter who's design it is.

Oh, I think this thread will live a long and happy life.

Now I want to know the suggestions that Finn delivered to FH in the late 60s that were never produced.

Me too. Even if I sense irony in your reply (?).

No irony. I am genuinely curious. And this thread has al the indicators or long life.
