Kettelhut chair's distinctive frame and wraparound armrests give it an imposing presence, while the upholstered seat and back provide a high level of comfort.
The comfortable and distinctive chair with the broad, embracing armrest is known in the vintage marked as SW 86, named after its original manufacturer, Søren Willadsen Møbelfabrik in Vejen, Denmark. However, driven by international aspirations, Finn Juhl also sent the drawing of the chair to the American furniture manufacturer Baker Furniture, which in the early 1950s launched and relaunched several of Finn Juhl's designs.
The new name ‘Kettelhut Chair’ honours Mary Ellen Kettelhut, the former Vice President of Marketing at Baker Furniture and the current owner of the original watercolour drawing of the chair. The chair's frame consists of a combination of solid oak and walnut and is available upholstered in leather or textile.
