About the Item

The Siesta Chair, designed by Norwegian designer Ingmar Relling in 1965, is a quintessential example of Scandinavian modernism, celebrated for its minimalist aesthetic and exceptional comfort. Produced by Westnofa, this chair has become an iconic piece in mid-century furniture design. The Siesta Chair features a sleek, bentwood frame crafted from laminated beech, providing both strength and flexibility. Its suspended seat comprises durable canvas supports, offering elasticity and comfort, while plush leather or fabric cushions enhance the seating experience. The chair's ergonomic design includes a slight recline, promoting relaxation without compromising posture. This particular chair is an alternate example of the classic siesta design, boasting suspended armrests. It is upholstered in a bold bright cherry red leather, rich in tone and character creating a real statement appeal. The armrests sling-like shape complement the suspended nature of the design and blend seamlessly with the classic shape and character of the chair.
