Ingmar Relling was a renowned Norwegian furniture designer who made significant contributions to the field of mid-century design. He was born on May 12, 1920, in Bergen, Norway, and passed away on September 25, 2002, leaving behind a rich legacy of innovative and functional furniture designs.

Relling studied at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry (now known as the Oslo National Academy of the Arts), where he graduated in 1947. He initially started his career as a designer at Rastad & Relling Tegnekontor, a renowned architectural firm in Oslo. During his time there, he collaborated with other prominent Norwegian designers, including Rolf Rastad.

In 1950, Relling established his own furniture design studio in Oslo, where he began creating his distinctive pieces. He gained international recognition for his work, particularly during the mid-century modern movement, which emphasized clean lines, functionality, and simplicity.

One of Relling's more... most iconic designs is the "Siesta" chair, created in 1965. The Siesta chair became a breakthrough piece for Relling, earning him critical acclaim and commercial success. It features a sleek, minimalist design with a bentwood frame and a sling-like seat made of canvas or leather. The chair was praised for its ergonomic qualities and comfort, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial spaces.

Relling's designs were often characterized by their innovative use of materials, combining wood, metal, and upholstery in unique and visually appealing ways. His furniture pieces were known for their functionality, durability, and timeless aesthetic.

Throughout his career, Relling received numerous awards and accolades for his contributions to design. His work was exhibited in various international design exhibitions, including the Triennale di Milano and the Scandinavian Design Today exhibition in New York.

Ingmar Relling's designs continue to be highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of mid-century modern furniture. less...
