Four sweeping pieces of bent plywood create an open structure, while the leather seat hangs almost independently inside it. The chair does not hold the body in the conventional sense. It lets it settle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmerging during the 1970s, the Superstar belongs to the same Scandinavian experiment with suspended seating that produced some of the decade's most memorable lounge chairs. Structure and upholstery are allowed to separate, creating a silhouette that feels unusually light despite its generous proportions. Dark bentwood and black leather give this example an almost monochromatic presence, somewhere between a hammock, a piece of equipment and a small piece of architecture made for doing absolutely nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigurd Ressell (1920–2010) trained in carpentry at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry before developing a career that moved between interiors, craftsmanship and industrial furniture design. His early work remained rooted in Scandinavian woodworking, but by the 1960s he had become increasingly interested in tension, suspension and new ways of allowing furniture to respond to the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat experimentation ultimately became central to Ressell's design language. Rather than placing upholstery conventionally onto a rigid structure, he explored ways of letting the seat exist almost independently within it. The result was furniture with an unusual sense of movement and freedom, ideas that became closely associated with Scandinavian lounge seating of the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrygg Møbler was a Danish furniture manufacturer active during the flourishing Scandinavian furniture industry of the 1970s. The company became particularly associated with the Superstar Chair, translating the era's fascination with bentwood and suspended seating into a distinctly relaxed lounge chair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts construction belongs unmistakably to the period: laminated wood used not simply as structure but as a continuous sculptural line, paired with leather that hangs within rather than conceals the frame. The result is an object whose construction remains visible from almost every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bent plywood frame remains fully original and is preserved in excellent vintage condition, retaining its deep brown finish and natural character. The black leather cushions have been refreshed, restoring their softness and tactile quality while remaining faithful to the original appearance of the chair. Subtle traces of age and previous use may remain as part of its authentic vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth · 78 cm \/ 30.7 in\u003cbr\u003eDepth · 78 cm \/ 30.7 in\u003cbr\u003eHeight · 94 cm \/ 37.0 in\u003cbr\u003eSeat height · 38 cm \/ 14.9 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncluded\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lounge chair is accompanied by a Back to the Furniture Certificate of Originality, a Back to the Furniture flyer, a Thank You card and a small gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lounge chair can be ready to ship within 10-15 workdays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorldwide shipping is available.
