About the Item

Introducing an absolutely stunning "Siesta Chair" in rare 100% original, vintage condition. The Siesta Chair has become one of the most recognizable and exalted Scandinavian furniture designs of the entire Mid-Century Modern Design era. The frame is constructed of bent and laminated beech wood harvested from sustainable forests and stained rosewood. The original leather, in a rich cognac color, adds warmth and character with it's light wear familiar to something utilized and loved. Norwegian-born architect and designer Ingmar Relling is known as one of Norway’s most internationally recognized and revered designers and is considered a major player in the Scandinavian Mid-Century Modern design movement. In 1965, Relling, in collaboration with his son Knut Relling, designed the Siesta Chair winning him first prize by the Industry Council for Furniture that same year. Relling was passionate about creating furniture that was ergonomic and eco-friendly, ensuring that his pieces were constructed in way that could be repaired. ---Dimensions--- Width: 25 in / 63.5 cm Depth: 30 in / 76.2 cm Height: 31 in / 78.74 cm Seat Height: 16 in / 40.64 cm Condition Details: This now iconic "Siesta Chair" is in 100% original, vintage condition and has aged to perfection! The bentwood beach, stained teak, is in excellent shape given it's age showing only minor surfaces scratches and light nicks (the worst of which can be seen in the detail photos provided) but showing no stains, gouges or other damage whatsoever. The richly colored cognac leather cushions are in superb condition given their age showing only minor surface scratches and signs of light wear (the worst of which can be seen in the detail photos provided) but showing no tears, fraying or stains whatsoever. This emblematic "Siesta" chair is the very epitome of comfort, structurally sound and ready for a literal lifetime more of use.
