the modern art of his time. Not only did his furniture look like
sculptures by Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Jean Arp and Erik
Thommesen they were often also exhibited together with these
artworks. Also his interior designs were inspired by the sculptors
contemplations on free and static movement. His early furniture
sculptures were shaped like big mammals. Juhl saw himself as a
modernist and thus succumbed to modernisms demand of honest
constructions, reflecting the form in their function.
In one of his main pieces the Chieftain Chair from 1949, the
armrest and seat were cut free so the organic, delicately
upholstered surfaces seemed to float. The chair, which
had elements reminiscent of aboriginal tools, became a turning
point for Juhl. Spearheaded by Juhl and Hans J. Wegners
furniture from the same year, 1949 marked the break
through for Danish design in the USA.
