Original Vintage 1970s Tall Brown Leather ‘Siesta’ Chair by Ingmar Relling for Westnofa

Smart and stylish, this beech bentwood lounge chair hails from Norway and dates from the 1970s (although the original design dates from the 1960s, this is a later model), made by Westnofa and designed by the renowned, Ingmar Relling. A tall version of his acclaimed, iconic ‘Siesta’ chair that won his design recognition and cemented his reputation as a leading MCM designer. Even the White House was furnished with Relling’s Siestas back in the day. Its floating, curvaceous form combines striking good looks from every side with super comfort, its tilt and suspension providing great support. We love chocolate brown leather and the detail of the cord running through the frame and seat canvas. These chairs offer an excellent alternative to bulkier, more traditional lounge chairs as the  proportions are compact and slim without compromising on comfort.

Description

This is an original, vintage chair that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in very good, used condition. The chair has been thoroughly cleaned and the leather cushions restored with a coloured nourishing balm. There are two cushions in total – the headrest and a sectioned seat and back cushion. Both have working zips and are soft and supple with no areas of concern. There are some light wrinkles to the leather’s surface, as can be seen, but these are minimal and what you would expect from vintage leather. The finishing canvas under the leather cushions is in good condition too, securely moored into position with cord that runs through the chair’s frame and through the cushion eyelets to keep them in place. The stained beech bentwood frame is structurally sound and sturdy with no wobbles or joint concerns. Again, there are some very minor scuffs and scratches in line with its age. Overall this chair is in superb condition. The Westnofa maker’s label is affixed underneath. Do browse our photos for a clear sense of its colour and condition. Should you have any queries or like to view, do get in touch.
