The Falcon Chair by Sigurd Ressell, an absolute icon of Norwegian modern design. Google’s Gemini called it a perfect blend of 70s swagger and pure Scandinavian comfort, which might be laying it on a tad thick, but is nonetheless a pretty good call; it goes on to say, the look is defined by that incredible, sculptural X frame, which supports the floating cushion and sling. It’s the structural backbone that makes the chair a masterpiece and gives it that legendary, laid-back feel.

If you’re reading this, you probably have a Falcon or two yourself, and horror of horrors, have perhaps suffered damage to one or more of the gorgeous bentwood beech legs, which has been known to happen from time to time, when subjected to severe abuse… Get your rare spares here. These are all in the rosewood stain; these chairs had the black leather cushions, but the rosewood colour was also employed in other combinations. Given the rarity of these spares and the value of the chairs, it may prove worthwhile to have a replacement refinished to match your colour if you can’t find it anywhere.
