Sigurd Ressell was a Norwegian furniture designer, and the Falcon is the design he is known for. It dates from the 1970s, and it was built around one idea: a strong canvas sling hung inside a frame, with leather cushions laid over it, so the chair gives and moves with the sitter.
The chair is often shown and sold with its matching low stool, and the two are offered together here.

A brushed stainless steel frame and legs, a hardwearing canvas sling and aniline leather cushions. The seat sits at 45 cm and the chair weighs 45 kg. It arrives already assembled. From GBP 1,314.50.
The matching footstool, in the same brushed stainless steel, canvas and aniline leather. It is 60 cm wide and 60 cm deep, with a 41 cm seat, weighs 20 kg and arrives already assembled. From GBP 529.50.
Both pieces, verified against their product pages. Prices are the current From price including the active sale.
Piece | From | Seat height | Weight | Assembly | Lead time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Falcon Stool | GBP 529.50 | 41 cm | 20 kg | Already assembled | 12 to 16 weeks |
Falcon Lounger | GBP 1,314.50 | 45 cm | 45 kg | Already assembled | 12 to 16 weeks |
The chair and stool together come to GBP 1,844.00. The stool is sold separately, so the pair costs 40% more than the chair alone.
The stool sits 4 cm below the chair seat. At 41 cm against 45 cm, it is low enough to take the legs at a gentle angle rather than straight out.
Nothing assembles, but both are heavy. Together they weigh 65 kg and arrive ready to use, so the only job is getting them into the room. Both take 12 to 16 weeks.
Sigurd Ressell was a Norwegian furniture designer, best known for the Falcon chair of the 1970s. The Falcon is built around a canvas sling suspended inside the frame, with leather cushions over it, which lets the seat give with the sitter. It is usually shown with its matching low stool.
A Falcon chair replica is a reproduction of Sigurd Ressell's Falcon lounge chair, with a sling seat suspended inside the frame. It is sold as a reproduction, and every Mobelaris product page states that the item is not manufactured by or affiliated with the original designer. The Mobelaris Falcon Lounger starts from GBP 1,314.50.
The Mobelaris Falcon Lounger has a brushed stainless steel frame and legs, a hardwearing canvas sling that forms the seat and back, and aniline leather cushions laid over the sling. The seat sits at 45 cm and the chair weighs 45 kg. The Falcon Stool uses the same materials.
Yes. The Falcon Stool uses the same brushed stainless steel, canvas sling and aniline leather as the chair. It is 60 cm wide and 60 cm deep, with a 41 cm seat, 4 cm below the chair's, and weighs 20 kg. It starts from GBP 529.50 and is sold separately.
No. Both the Falcon Lounger and the Falcon Stool arrive already assembled, according to their product pages. They are heavy, though: the chair weighs 45 kg and the stool 20 kg, 65 kg together, so plan for two people to carry them in and check doorways before delivery.
The Falcon Lounger starts from GBP 1,314.50 and the Falcon Stool from GBP 529.50, which comes to GBP 1,844.00 for the pair. Prices on the grid above are current and include any active sale. Leather colour options are shown on each product page.
Both the Falcon Lounger and the Falcon Stool take 12 to 16 weeks, and neither is held in UK stock. Each product page shows its own estimate under the Add to Cart button, and timings are confirmed by email once the order is placed. If the chair is for a set date, order well ahead.
