Falcon Lounge Chair is designed by Sigurd Resell for LK Hjelle — one of the most significant and enduring Norwegian furniture designs of the twentieth century. Resell designed the Falcon in 1971 drawing direct inspiration from the hammock: a seating form that responds to the body's natural resting position rather than imposing a fixed posture. The chair's structure is built around this idea — a frame that allows the seat to move with the sitter, creating a dynamic seated comfort that conventional fixed-shell lounge chairs cannot achieve.

The Falcon's construction is a genuine feat of structural thinking. The seat and back are suspended within an outer frame in a way that gives the chair its characteristic yielding quality — sitting in the Falcon feels different from sitting in any other lounge chair because the structure actively responds to the sitter's weight and movement. The visual form is equally distinctive: the splayed legs, the open frame, and the floating seat create a silhouette of considerable presence that reads as resolved and purposeful from every angle. More than fifty years after its original design, the Falcon remains in continuous production and continues to be recognised as a piece of genuine design heritage — a chair that solved the problem of lounge comfort in a way that has never been fully superseded.

The Falcon Lounge Chair is well suited to residential living rooms and reading settings where a lounge chair of exceptional Norwegian design heritage, genuine seated comfort, and strong formal character is required. Its hammock-inspired construction makes it a particularly appropriate specification for environments where extended seated use is the primary brief, and its design provenance gives it a cultural depth appropriate to any interior where the story of individual furniture pieces contributes to the overall spatial and intellectual character of the space. Available in LK Hjelle's range of upholstery and frame options.
