Sigurd Ressell Leather and Rosewood Swivel Lounge Chair, 1970
Sigurd Ressell Leather and Rosewood Swivel Lounge Chair, 1970
This 1970 swivel lounge chair by Norwegian designer Sigurd Ressell combines cognac-toned leather with a sculptural rosewood frame and polished chrome details. Its low, generous proportions and button-tufted upholstery give it a relaxed vintage character.
Designed by Ressell in 1970, the chair reflects the period’s emphasis on comfort and expressive laminated-wood construction. The four-star pedestal base swivels, adding practical movement to the broad lounge form.
A canvas support sling carries the upholstered seat and back within the rosewood frame, while chrome fittings articulate the structural connections. Deep button tufting shapes the cushions and emphasises the warmth of the aged leather. This listing is for the chair only; no Ottoman is included.
The chair is in very good vintage condition with small signs of normal use, including light wear to the armrests. No major flaws are noted, and the swivel works as intended. Please review all images for details.

Material-aware guidance Care for this piece
Based on the materials stated in this piece’s product information. Vintage finishes vary, so test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
Leather
Dust with a clean, dry microfibre cloth. For marks, use a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. Use only a leather product suitable for the known finish, after a hidden-area test; avoid soaking, household sprays and repeated conditioning.
Wood
Dust with a soft cloth. For light cleaning, use a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. Protect the surface from standing water, direct heat and strong sunlight; do not oil, sand or refinish unless the original finish is known.
Chrome and metal
Dust with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, use a lightly damp cloth with mild soap and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive pads, metal polish and harsh chemicals; these can remove plating, paint or an established patina.
