Wing Leather Armchair By Harald Relling For Westnofa, 1970

Chairish

$1,417

with its striking silhouette, seemingly floating seat, and characteristic combination of leather, canvas, and chromed steel, this rare Westnofa "Wing" Lounge Chair embodies the elegant lightness of 1970s Scandinavian design. Designed by Harald Relling for the Norwegian manufacturer Westnofa, the chair combines exceptional seating comfort with a clear, architectural design language that remains modern to this day. The iconic design is based on a finely balanced interplay of a taut canvas frame, softly upholstered leather cushions, and a delicate, chromed tubular steel base, giving the chair an almost weightless appearance while offering a surprisingly relaxed seating experience. The original brown leather displays an authentic patina developed over decades, lending the chair its distinctive character. The surface shows the subtle signs of a well-loved piece of furniture, developing that warm radiance that only high-quality natural leather can produce. Slight signs of wear on the armrests and subtle signs of age on the canvas back underscore the originality and vintage charm of this piece without detracting from its overall appearance. The chrome-plated steel frame, on the other hand, is in very good condition and its bright shine provides a striking contrast to the soft leather surface. The small wooden elements on the frame are particularly attractive, further emphasizing the high-quality materials used. Westnofa, formed from the merger of leading Norwegian furniture manufacturers, became one of the most important ambassadors of Scandinavian design on the international market from the late 1950s onward. Under the name "West Norway Factories," the company united some of Norway's most significant producers and designers, making their designs known worldwide. Harald Relling is one of the most interesting representatives of Norwegian modernism. His designs are characterized by high ergonomic standards, sophisticated construction, and a timeless aesthetic. The "Wing" chair is one of Westnofa's most sought-after designs today and is often associated with his brother Ingmar Relling due to his family connection, but it possesses its own distinct design identity. An exceptional Scandinavian design classic with an authentic patina, high-quality craftsmanship, and a presence that is equally at home in sophisticated mid-century interiors and contemporary living spaces. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs, designer records, or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
