Sigurd Resell

Sigurd Resell had a solid carpentry education in his background before he studied at the Wood Department at the Staten's Handicrafts and Art Industry School (1943-1947).

After his studies, he was employed at Rastad & Relling Tegnekontor. He stayed there until 1968, with the exception of a short period from 1953 to 1956. For Rastad & Relling, he designed some of the post-war period's most distinctive furniture. The more commercial contributions include the armchair Blinken (1956) and chairs in the Bambi series.

In 1959, Resell won a prize at Copenhagen's Snedkerlaug's furniture competition for the armchair SR59. The chair's distinctive feature is the softly designed backrest which almost slides over the armrests. SR59 was first made by master carpenter Niels Vodder in Copenhagen, but today the chair is produced by Japanese Kitani under the name SR-01.

Tube Chair is made from beech plywood. The plywood is treated through an iterative molding process where several veneer layers are combined and glued. Through the application of combined heat and pressure, the layers are given their characteristic shape. All wooden parts are flexible and strong, ensuring a sitting experience that is never static. For a beautiful and durable finish, our plywood is covered with an ash top veneer, manually sanded and coated with water-based lacquers.

Tube Chair is upholstered in ONE from Fidivi. ONE is a knitted textile made from 100% recycled polyester, obtained entirely from post-consumer plastic waste. The textile is made in Italy and is OEKO-tex certified and also complies to the Global Recycled Standard. The textile is soft to touch and has a slight shine to it. With 100.000 Martindale, the textile is durable and fit to meet the demands of everyday life.
