A beautifully simple yet iconic lounge essential, the Siesta Classic Highback Chair by LK Hjelle is designed to bring comfort, clarity, and enduring Scandinavian elegance into the home. Rooted in Norwegian craftsmanship and mid-century design heritage, this chair transforms everyday seating into a refined and restorative experience.

Originally designed in 1965 by Ingmar Relling, the Siesta Classic Highback Chair is celebrated for its lightweight form and exceptional comfort. The elevated backrest offers generous neck and shoulder support, while the gently flexing laminated wood frame adapts subtly to the body’s movement. Supple leather or fabric cushions rest within the sculptural wooden structure, creating a harmonious balance between strength and softness.

Thoughtfully engineered for longevity, the chair is crafted using high-quality natural materials designed to age beautifully over time. Its understated silhouette allows it to sit effortlessly in both contemporary and traditional interiors, reflecting a philosophy of simplicity, sustainability, and enduring design.
