Pair of brown leather and chrome Sigurd Ressell Falcon chairs for Vatne Møbler
By Vatne Møbler, Sigurd Ressell
Located in Highclere, Newbury
An exceptional pair of early 1970s vintage Vatne Møbler, Sigurd Ressell Falcon chairs in beautifully patinated brown leather with chrome frames.
Known for its distinctive and striking chrome frame and suspended sling seat the Falcon Chair stands out as one of the most instantly recognisable pieces of vintage Scandinavian design. Originally designed by Ressell in 1970 the first chairs were produced in chrome and leather, and had a more industrial aesthetic which aligned with a trend that had started in Denmark in the late 1960s and early 1970s – using metal bar to create chair structures was popularised by the key Danish designers of the time; most notably, Poul Kjærholm, Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm.
The chair has undergone several refinements and as consumer preferences shifted towards warmer, more organic materials, the Falcon Chair followed suit. In the mid-1970s, Vatne Møbler transitioned the chair’s frame from steel to bentwood, replacing the original chrome structure with a laminated beech or rosewood frame. This change softened the chair’s industrial edge and aligned it more closely with the naturalistic elements of Scandinavian furniture design, but also helped lower transportation cost to the USA which proved to be the largest market for export Falcons.
All that said, for most purists seeking a vintage Falcon the original chrome framed version, which is as Ressell initially envisioned it, is often the first choice as it not only makes more of statement but it’s proven to be more durable – as such the chrome frame Falcons command higher prices and hold their value well.
This pair are presented in very good vintage condition with light wear commensurate with age and use. There is the usual light cracking of the leather on the top of the sling belt supports but no holes, cracks or tears in the main leather upholstery, and no loss in integrity of the cushion padding. The stone coloured canvas slings are virtually unmarked (as they are in such great condition it’s possible that they may have been refreshed at some point) and the steel frames have only very light tarnish and no rust, pitting or flaking of the chrome.
Sigurd Ressell
Born in Norway in 1920, Sigurd Ressell studied at the National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in Oslo, where he developed his keen sense of industrial and furniture design. Ressell’s work was defined by strong geometric lines, practical aesthetics, and a deep understanding of materials. His career gained momentum in the 1950s, working for Sørlie Fabrikker, before he eventually collaborated with Vatne Møbler, the company that brought the Falcon Chair to life.
Ressell also drew inspiration from the sleek, organic lines of nature, something deeply embedded in Scandinavian design philosophy. The Falcon Chair’s curved frame mimics the movement of a bird in flight, while its suspended leather seat cradles the user, offering both visual lightness and physical relaxation. The Falcon is his most famous work, but his broader body of work showcases a consistent dedication to comfort, function, and timeless design.
Vatne Møbler
Founded in 1946, Vatne Møbler is a Norwegian furniture manufacturer known for its commitment to producing high-quality, handcrafted furniture. The company gained international recognition during the 1960s and 70s, particularly with the Falcon Chair, which became a best-seller.
Vatne Møbler's approach has always emphasized quality craftsmanship, using durable materials and skilled techniques to create furniture that lasts for generations. Even as trends shifted, the company continued to produce and refine the Falcon Chair, ensuring that it maintained its place in modern homes. Today, vintage Falcon Chairs...
