1960s Danish Rosewood and Leather Diplomat Chairs by Finn Juhl

A refined and quietly confident pair of Diplomat chairs by Finn Juhl, produced by France & Son and executed here in beautifully figured rosewood. Originally designed as a bridge between formal seating and everyday comfort, the Diplomat chair is one of Juhl’s most versatile forms. The gently sculpted back offers excellent support, while the broad seat and generous armrests give these chairs a presence that feels substantial without ever becoming heavy. They work effortlessly as occasional lounge chairs, elegant office seating, or as larger, more comfortable dining chairs where long meals are meant to linger. Do you imagine them framing a desk, or anchoring the head of a dining table? This pair has been freshly cleaned and polished and fully restored by our team. The frames retain crisp edges and rich rosewood grain throughout, paired with new black leather upholstery from Sørensen Leather, widely regarded as the finest furniture leather produced in Denmark. The leather has a supple hand and subtle natural grain that will age beautifully with use. Timeless, architectural, and supremely livable, these Diplomat chairs are a strong example of Finn Juhl’s ability to blend sculpture with comfort. A rare opportunity to acquire a matched pair that feels just as relevant today as when it was first conceived.
