Ingmar Relling is probably better known for his "Siesta" lounge chair that Westnofa produced for many years. This chair is much more rare and similar in design to Sigurd Ressell's "Falcon" chair or Odd Knutsen's "Luna" chair. Like those, this chair has a canvas sling that is supported at 4 corners of a wood frame. The sling has some support sewn into it and it supports a padded leather seat surface. The frame of this chair is more elegantly designed than the X-frame of the Luna and is sturdier than that of the Falcon. The wood itself is a Rosewood colored laminated ply that was often used in the Scandinavian sling chairs. There was a chrome tubed version of this chair as well as a high back version.
I acquired this chair from the original owners who had it nearly 40 years. Originally this chair had a camel colored naugahyde seat covering. This covering started to stiffen and crack, so a few years ago they had the seat cushion completely redone in new, soft leather. With this change I'd say this chair is now better than new.
