A special NYCxDesign pop-up where House of Finn Juhl and Sea New York unveiled a reimagined Japan Series. Danish mid-century furniture was transformed through Sea’s embroidered textiles, creating a tactile dialogue between heritage design and contemporary fashion craftsmanship.
During NYCxDesign, House of Finn Juhl and Sea New York presented a dedicated pop-up space unveiling a special edition of the iconic Japan Series — a meeting point between Danish mid-century design and contemporary New York fashion.
Set within an immersive and considered environment, the installation brought together Finn Juhl’s sculptural furniture and Sea’s signature textile language for the first time. Upholstered in richly embroidered fabrics developed in collaboration with Denmark’s historic Kjellerup Væveri, the pieces translated Sea’s craft-driven sensibility into a new material context.
The spatial concept, developed with Copenhagen-based architecture studio Mentze Ottenstein, reinterpreted Finn Juhl’s original vision through color, pattern, and materiality. The result was a layered, tactile setting that invited visitors to move through the space and experience the collection up close — where furniture became both functional object and textile expression.
By bringing together two distinct yet complementary worlds, the pop-up offered a rare opportunity to experience how fashion and furniture can intersect in a way that feels both natural and unexpected.
Visitors were invited to discover the collection throughout the week — an intimate presentation where iconic Danish design was reimagined through the lens of Sea New York’s contemporary, handcrafted approach.
