Vintage Black Leather Brown Plywood Siesta Chair Ingmar Relling Westnofa Denmark 1970s set of 2 Scandinavian Mid Century Modern Furniture

➽ Designer Ingmar Relling (1920–2002) was one of the great masters of Scandinavian Modern design, known for his functional, timeless creations rooted in elegance and simplicity. After beginning his career at Rastad & Relling in 1947, he established his own studio in Sykkylven in 1950, where he shaped a legacy defined by minimalism, precision, and comfort. In 1965, Relling designed what would become his most celebrated creation — the Siesta Chair. It won first prize at the Industry Council for Furniture and Furnishing’s Chair Competition that same year, and even graced the interiors of the White House. Today, the Siesta stands as one of the most recognizable and enduring icons of Norwegian design — a masterpiece of craftsmanship and restraint that continues to define mid-century elegance worldwide. ➽ Maker Westnofa, founded in the 1950s, was Norway’s pioneering furniture export company. It represented manufacturers such as Stokke and other leading producers, introducing Scandinavian design to the global market. While two separate companies carry the Westnofa name today, neither is related to the original export firm that made designs like Relling’s Siesta internationally renowned. The original Westnofa’s role in promoting authentic Norwegian craftsmanship remains a cornerstone of mid-century design history. ➽ Design Period 1960s. ➽ Style Scandinavian Modern — elegant, functional, and enduringly minimal. ➽ Country of Manufacture Norway. ➽ Detailed Condition The original leather upholstery and bentwood frame remain fully intact and in good vintage condition.
