Ingmar Relling’s 1965 ‘Siesta’ chair is a design classic, a midcentury icon. It earned him recognition with the Industry Council for Furniture and Furnishing Industry, winning first prize that year and cementing his reputation as a leading MCM designer, putting the Siesta chair on the world stage. Even the White House, back in the day, was furnished with Ingmar Relling’s Siestas! Designed for Norwegian maker, Westnofa, its floating, curvaceous form combines striking good looks with super comfort, its tilt and suspension providing great support. These chairs offer an excellent alternative to bulkier, more traditional lounge chairs as the proportions are compact and slim without compromising on comfort. This one in chestnut brown leather is in particularly excellent condition.
