Sigurd Ressell:
Sigurd Ressell is a Norwegian designer who strongly influenced Scandinavian design.
Thanks to 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 iconic Falcon chair.
Ressell was born in 1920 in Norway. He studied at the Norwegian National Academy of Crafts, Art and Industry and graduated in 1947. As part of a competition, Sigurd Ressell submitted one of his drawings.
This drawing caught the eye of Niels Vodder, a designer who regularly collaborated with Finn Juhl, a leading figure in design.
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 profoundly influenced 20th-century design.
