About the Item

This Siesta Chair by Ingmar Relling is a quintessential example of mid-century Norwegian design, striking a perfect balance between elegance, comfort, and structural innovation. Designed with a minimalist bent, the chair features a sculptural bentwood frame in a light birch tone, showcasing the clean lines and graceful curves that define Relling’s aesthetic. The suspended seat is upholstered in rich, supple brown leather, the rich tone contrasts boldly with the light warmth of the birch frame. The ergonomic high back and integrated headrest provide superb support, while the suspended design of the seat adds an architectural lightness to the form. Low-slung and slightly reclined, the chair’s silhouette is fluid and organic, with softly curved arms and a cantilevered base that gives it a gentle bounce. Both visually striking and supremely functional, the Siesta Chair remains a celebrated icon of Nordic modernism.
