The Falcon Chair and ottoman has become one of the most recognizable and exalted Scandinavian furniture designs of the entire Mid-Century Modern Design era. The frame is constructed of bent and laminated beech wood harvested from sustainable forests and stained rosewood. The newly upholstered leather, in a rich mocha color, adds warmth and character and is nearly indiscernible from the original, this ottoman is as comfortable as it is aesthetically captivating.

Norwegian-born architect and designer Sigurd Resell was born in Norway in 1920 and began his storied career in 1950 when he opened his own studio and designed for various customers and manufacturers, including the Danish furniture manufacturer Niels Vodder. From 1948 to 1968, Ressell designed interiors and furniture for the Norwegian furniture brand Rolf Rastad & Adolf Relling. Ressel passed away in 2010.

The falcon chair and ottoman is an audacious amalgamation of superior materials, bold stance and renowned comfort. The body is made of canvas and was attached to four arms with sturdy metal hooks with hand-stitched leather borders. The ocher brown leather upholstery could then be placed on this suspension. The falcon chair was originally made with a chrome frame, but in 1974 it was fitted with a lighter frame constructed from bent beech, which looked like rosewood through an intricate staining process. The matching footstool each had the same processing.

This Falcon Chair ottoman is a true collector's item, perfect for those who appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of Ressel himself and authentic Scandinavian Modern furniture. With it's unique beech bentwood construction, new leather cushion, and timeless design, this early Falcon Chair ottoman is perfect for completing your existing Falcon Chair. Make it yours today before it's gone forever.
