Title: Mid-Century Scandinavian Modern "Siesta" Coffee Table w/ Glass Top by Ingmar Relling for Westnofa, Norway, c. 1970s
About: This iconic Scandinavian Modern Siesta coffee table by Ingmar Relling for Westnofa captures the essence of 1960s Norwegian design with its sculptural elegance and functional simplicity. The table features a round clear glass top that appears to float above a striking bentwood base crafted from beech wood and stained a warm teak tone. The four gracefully curved bentwood legs intersect at the center in a dramatic starburst or petal-like formation, creating a dynamic, organic silhouette that is both lightweight in appearance and remarkably stable.
Ingmar Relling, one of Norway’s most celebrated designers, is best known for his groundbreaking Siesta chair (designed in 1965 for Westnofa), which became an international icon of comfort and minimalism. This Siesta coffee table belongs to the same celebrated series, extending the same fluid, ergonomic aesthetic into occasional furniture.
Westnofa, a leading Norwegian manufacturer, was renowned for its mastery of bentwood techniques and high-quality Scandinavian craftsmanship during the golden age of mid-century design.
Versatile and timeless, this Siesta coffee table works beautifully in living rooms, lounges, or as a sculptural centerpiece in Scandinavian, mid-century modern, or contemporary interiors. Its compact footprint and eye-catching form make it an ideal companion to the famous Siesta chair or any modernist seating.
A true collector’s piece from the Siesta collection by Ingmar Relling for Westnofa — where sculptural beauty meets everyday functionality.
