Mid century lounge chair “Siesta” and ottoman by Ingmar Relling, Westnofa Furniture, Norway 1980s

An iconic piece of Scandinavian modern design — the legendary “Siesta” lounge chair with matching ottoman, designed by Ingmar Relling and produced by Westnofa Furniture, Norway.

Originally designed in the 1960s, the Siesta chair became one of the most celebrated Norwegian lounge chairs ever made, admired for its light construction, ergonomic comfort, and timeless Nordic aesthetic. It is even known to have furnished the White House during Jimmy Carter’s administration, highlighting its international design significance.

This piece dates from the 1980s production and beautifully reflects the original concept: a harmonious blend of flexibility, minimalism, and exceptional seating comfort.
