*Norwegian interior and industrial designer Sigurd Ressell was particularly active during the 1950s and ’60s and is best known for his collaboration with Vatne Mobler, which resulted in the iconic Falcon Chair. In 1968, Ressell became the chief designer for Norwegian furniture company Vatne, and his seminal Falcon Chair (1970) soon followed. Originally named Blank Vals, the hammock-like chair was the result of a furniture competition for the Industry Council. Vatne began production of the chair in 1971 under the new name. Within two years, Vatne’s sales tripled as Falcon Chairs sold worldwide, particularly in the United States, Japan, Germany, and Australia

Estimated price: $300 - $500
