100% original falcon chair in excellent vintage condition. This rare model features a headrest, armrests and rosewood frame, three hard to find upgrades. Designed by Sigurd Resell for Norwegian manufacturer, Vatne Møbler. Ingenious design beautifully balances style and comfort. Chair has a hammock like construction lending itself to maximum relaxation. The original dark brown leather has been professionally cleaned and condition and feels soft as butter. The original order tags are actually still sewn into the underside of the seat. Norwegian interior and industrial designer Sigurd Ressell (also spelled Resell) was particularly active during the 1950s and 1960s and is best known for his collaboration with Vatne Møbler, which resulted in the iconic falcon chair. Born in 1920 in Meldal, Norway, Ressell studied carpentry at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft & Art Industry from 1943 until 1947. Sometime in the late 1940s or early 1950s, Ressell established his own studio, designing for various clients and manufacturers, including Niels Vodder. From 1948-1968, Ressell created interiors and furniture for Norwegian furniture brand Rastad & Relling. Notable designs include the 56/1 and 61/1 Chairs for the Bambi Series (1955), the Blinken Armchair (1956), and furniture for the expansion of the Norwegian Parliament (1950s). During the 1960s, Ressell began experimenting with steel, which he implemented in designs like his circle armchair (1960s). In 1965, in collaboration with designer Cato Mansrud, Ressell designed the steel and canvas, safari-style Irafas Chair and Irafas Table for A. Grasaasen. The chair, which is safari spelled backwards, won second place at the Industry Council Chair Competition in 1965 and the Gold Medal at Ljubljana’s Biennial in 1966. In 1968, Ressell became the chief designer for Norwegian furniture company Vatne, and his seminal falcon chair (1970) soon followed. Originally named Blank Vals, the hammock-like chair was the result of a furniture competition for the Industry Council. Vatne began production of the chair in 1971 under the new name. Within two years, Vatne’s sales tripled as falcon chairs sold worldwide, particularly in the United States, Japan, Germany, and Australia. Originally produced with a chrome frame, the chair was redesigned with a lighter laminated base in 1974 for easier distribution. Although the chair’s popularity led to copycat versions in other countries, such as the Danish Superstar...
