Iconic Norwegian modern lounge chair produced by Westnofa (Vestlandske Møbelfabrikk), Ørsta / Sykkylven, and internationally known under the Siesta / Ingmar Relling design lineage.
This sculptural high-back floating lounge chair originates from Westnofa’s 1970s Siesta-era program, developed in the same Norwegian design movement that made the Siesta chair world famous. Featuring the characteristic cantilevered bentwood frame and deep suspended seating shell, it offers exceptional comfort while remaining visually light and architectural.
The chair is upholstered in its original thick full-grain aniline leather in a rare grey tone that has developed a beautiful natural patina. The leather shows a soft sheen and natural creasing, confirming originality and age.
