A continuous bentwood frame rises from the floor while leather hangs freely within it, turning structure and seating into two almost independent layers. The matching ottoman extends that same gesture outward, allowing the body to settle completely into the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Ingmar Relling in 1965, Siesta feels less like conventional furniture and more like carefully balanced equipment for rest. The wood flexes, the leather gives, and gravity does much of the work. In warm brown plywood and original brown leather, this set has acquired something impossible to manufacture new: surfaces softened by time, materials that have grown into one another, and the quiet familiarity of furniture already several decades into its life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIngmar Relling (1920–2002) grew up in Sykkylven, a small Norwegian community surrounded by mountains and furniture workshops. After beginning his career at Rastad \u0026amp; Relling, he returned home and established his own practice in 1950.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelling became fascinated by achieving comfort with less material. Rather than building heavy upholstered furniture, he explored bent laminated wood and suspended surfaces that could respond naturally to the body. Siesta became the clearest expression of that thinking. Introduced in 1965, it transformed a handful of economical components into one of Norway's most recognisable contributions to modern furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWestnofa was created in the late 1950s as an alliance of furniture manufacturers from western Norway. Its name came directly from its purpose, WEST Norway FActories, bringing together regional craftsmanship and carrying it far beyond the country's borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough Westnofa, Norwegian furniture entered homes across Europe, North America and other international markets. Few designs represented that moment more successfully than Siesta. Its light construction made sense both aesthetically and practically, allowing a distinctly Norwegian idea of comfort to travel around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bent plywood frames and brown leather upholstery remain fully original and are preserved in great vintage condition. The leather retains the natural softness and character developed through age, while the wooden structures remain beautifully preserved. As with any authentic vintage pieces, subtle traces of age and previous use may be present, adding to the history and individual character of the chairs and ottoman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth · 64 cm \/ 25.0 in\u003cbr\u003eDepth · 76 cm \/ 30.0 in\u003cbr\u003eHeight · 79 cm \/ 31.0 in\u003cbr\u003eSeat height · 43 cm \/ 17.0 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncluded\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two lounge chairs and ottoman are 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 chairs and ottoman can be ready to ship within 10-15 workdays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorldwide shipping is available.
