- Details

In 1968, Sigurd Ressell became the chief designer for Norwegian furniture company Vatne, and his seminal Falcon Chair (1970) soon followed. Originally, the hammock-like chair was produced with a chrome frame, but was redesigned with a lighter laminated base in 1974 for easier distribution. This is a wonderful addition to any art deco home, or the modern contemporary home.

Our Falcon Chair was inspired by the original steel frame version with some important distinctions. First, we use heavy canvas for the hammock effect. Italian Leather and a combination of foam and feathers are in each cushion.  True to the original, this chair does not recline further or swivel. Offered in a number of leather covers and three colors of canvas. The Beech Veneer Bentwood frame is only available in one color as shown.

This version of the Falcon chair with the wooden frame has armrests for the ultimate lounging effect, we also make one with no armrests (MC-7710), as well as a metal version of this chair with no armrests (MC-7701).

Dimensions (inches):
Overall: 31.5w x 32d x 39h
Seat Interior: 19-25w x 17d
Seat Height: 18h
Weight: 23lbs

Modern Classics Furniture offers two levels of premium Top-Grain Italian Leathers for this product (Smooth and Distressed). Our Smooth leathers are top-grain, aniline-dyed, have a soft feel to them and most of the hides natural grain patterns are retained. Our Distressed Leathers (denoted with the prefix L5) are also top-grain, aniline-dyed but have a distressed look to them. L5 leathers will show rubbings and have a more waxy feel. All our leathers are considered equally durable and are ideal for home or commercial use. To read more about leather, read our A Guide to Understanding Upholstery Leather: A Primer.

Each of the these groupings feature:
  • Top-grain Italian leather from Grade A hides
  • Semi aniline-dyed (standard) and 100% aniline-dyed (premium)
  • Made at Italian tanneries and sent to our factory
  • Have a UV and Moisture Guard built into the non-toxic vegetable dyes
  • Are not split hides or bonded leather
We are happy to mail you a physical piece of leather so you can hold it in your hands.
