Sigurd Ressell:
Sigurd Ressell is a Norwegian designer who strongly influenced Scandinavian design.
With his avant-garde spirit, he left an indelible mark on the history of design.
Ressell designed numerous steel and leather armchairs, sofas, chairs, and even a bar (1960). In 1971, he designed the legendary Falcon chair.
Ressell was born in 1920 in Norway.
He studied at the Norwegian National Academy of Crafts, Arts, and Industry and graduated in 1947.
Sigurd Ressell submitted one of his designs as part of a competition.
It attracted the attention of Niels Vodder, a designer who had regularly collaborated with Finn Juhl, a key figure in the design world.
This led to the creation of a prototype based on his sketch.
In 1958, Ressell received an award for his SR 600 chair at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild Exhibitions.
Ressell had a profound impact on 20th-century design.
