"She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere, so I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair."
—Beatles, "Norwegian Wood"
Ingmar Relling’s "Siesta" chair from 1966 Norwegian designers are world known for their experimental yet natural design in furniture. A couple of well-known examples were the brothers Adolf and Ingmar Relling. In 1966, Ingmar became famous for his chair "Siesta" made of leather and laminated beech, pictured here.
In December 2013 I was approached by a client to restore the leather cushions on two original Ingmar Relling "Siesta" chairs and matching footstool. The leather had been exposed to the sun and as a result had become faded and dry, and a couple of buttons were missing, but otherwise it was in good condition.
After we had replaced the missing buttons, it was simply a matter of restoring the colour and refinishing the leather. The cushions not only looked good, but the leather felt great once again and, best of all, our client was delighted with the finished result.
