Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Designed in 1953, the Reading Chair is one of Finn Juhl’s more simple yet elegant pieces. Characterized by intricate details and a unique design, this chair showcases exceptional craftsmanship. It is manufactured in oak, featuring a back piece of oak and walnut, or comes in a fully black painted version. Additionally, a version of the chair with an upholstered seat is also available.

Chairish: $ 2,199 from $6,500.
Design Plus from $5,998 for $1,139.
Craigs List from $5,998 for $1,139.

“As a designer,” says Lisa Hilland, “I am constantly exploring materials and how they influence our perception of an object. Natural materials are close to my heart, and using them in a careful, sustainable way, creating long lasting design. In my work I am aim to enhance a material’s natural qualities, celebrating its specific character, functions and beauty. Excellent design triggers our emotions and according to me, materials have a great part to play while designing – or as I call it – giving an object a soul that can be loved.”
In 2023 Lisa Hilland celebrated 25 years as a designer. You can find her designs sold through auction houses with a value. This manifests Lisa Hillands signum; the creation of longterm high quality design that can be passed down for generations.”
