'Falcon' Chair and Ottoman by Sigurd Ressell for Vatne Møbler, 1970s, Signed
About the Item
An iconic grey leather 'Falcon' sling chair and ottoman by Sigurd Ressell for Vatne Møbler, signed on both the chair frame and the ottoman. A more rare variation of the Falcon design, the lounge chair has both a highback with headrest and arms, which are less commonly seen but exquisite when paired together like this example.
The Falcon throne chair, suspended in air, and harnessed by four sculptural, light wood frame components features comfortable and quality grey leather cushions that rest in beige canvas slings.
The highback Falcon easy chair, an iconic piece of Norwegian design, was created by Sigurd Ressell for Vatne Møbler circa 1970s. Giving a nod to hammocks, hanging chairs and other seating that specializes in relaxing, this inimitable chair brings stylish leisure to another level. A classic lounge piece for both a living room or a patio.

Vatne Møbler
Norwegian furniture manufacturer Vatne Møbler has a rich legacy underscored by visionary collaborations with iconic Norwegian furniture designers. The company’s mid-century modern and Scandinavian modern lounge chairs and armchairs are known for their quality leather upholstery that acquires a beautiful patina over time.
Vatne Møbler was established in 1946 by Knut Sæter in the village of Vatne, Norway. Sæter was an interior architect who studied at the Bergen School of Arts and Crafts. He designed and manufactured the company’s first pieces. In 1955, interior architect Gerhard Berg started working for Vatne Møbler. His designs — particularly for sofas — soon became popular.
Later in the 1950s, furniture designer Fredrik A. Kayser began creating pieces for Vatne Møbler. His furniture earned the company international acclaim. In 1960, Kayser’s 711 chair for Vatne Møbler won first place at an Industry Council chair competition.
After Kayser died in 1968, the company was overseen by interior designer Sigurd Resell. Resell’s most enduring contribution to Vatne Møbler was the 1970 Falcon armchair. The comfortable, leather-upholstered, X-framed chair came in second place at an Industry Council chair competition. In the 1970s, Resell designed a series of striking glass-topped Falcon coffee tables.
Vatne Møbler’s success lasted through the 1980s, a decade which included a collaboration with furniture designer Olav Eldøy. In 1989, the company encountered financial problems and was sold to Norwegian manufacturer Stokke AS.
In 2002, Knut Sæter’s son, Per Arne Sæter, reopened the family business by relaunching Kayser’s classic designs along with a new collection. Production shut down in 2008 due to the financial crisis, but started again in 2010.
In 2015, the grandson of Knut Sæter, Amund Sæter, published Møbeleventyret Vatne: Boken om Vatne Møbler 1946-1989, a book about the early history of Vatne Møbler. The company continues to operate the Vatne Møbler As store in Norway.
