Its striking design captivates with an exceptional lightness, achieved through the elegantly curved frame and the seemingly floating seat construction. The harmonious interplay of clean lines, organic forms, and luxurious materials lends the chair a timeless elegance that has lost none of its fascination decades after its creation.

The Viking is based on the pioneering seating concept of Norwegian designer Sigurd Ressell, whose legendary Falcon Chair is among the most significant designs of 1970s Scandinavian design. Ressell's idea of ​​combining a flexible support structure with generous leather cushions revolutionized the seating comfort of modern lounge chairs. The result is a piece of furniture that naturally cradles the body and offers an exceptionally relaxing seating experience.

The example offered here is in exceptionally well-maintained condition. The high-quality black leather is soft, supple, and virtually free of wear. The generous cushions retain their original shape and provide the luxurious seating comfort for which Poltrona Frau is renowned worldwide. The characteristic canvas upholstery on the back is also in immaculate condition, underscoring the superior craftsmanship of this exceptional armchair. The black lacquered frame is likewise in excellent condition, emphasizing the elegant, almost floating appearance of the design.
