Offered here is a matched pair of iconic Siesta lounge chairs designed by Ingmar Relling for Westnofa, Norway, circa 1965.
This is the desirable “His & Hers” configuration, referring to one chair being slightly larger than the other as the result of an additional 'pillow cushion' - a detail originally intended to accommodate different body sizes while maintaining a unified design.
The Siesta chair is a landmark of Scandinavian modern design, celebrated for its sculptural bentwood frame, floating sling construction, and exceptional comfort. These chairs exemplify Relling’s mastery of form meeting function and the matching pair here remain highly sought after by collectors and designers.
Both chairs feature:
Original bent laminated wood frames
Classic sling-style leather upholstery with beautiful patina
Elegant, lightweight profile with generous recline. They are very comfortable!
Matching design with subtle size variation between the two chairs
Perfect as a statement pair in a living room, library, or design-focused interior.
Condition:
Vintage condition consistent with age and use. Frames are structurally sound. Leather shows expected wear and a great patina, adding to their authenticity and character. No major repairs noted. Please review photos carefully, as they form part of the description.
