The elegant Siesta armchair was designed by Carl-Gustaf Hiort af Ornäs in 1952. The chair catches the eye with its sculptural silhouette featuring a high backrest and slanted wooden legs. The frame is made of a single sheet of pressed plywood, and the upholstery of the back is finished off with decorative buttons. The Siesta armchair was introduced at the Milan Triennial in 1957 and originally manufactured by Hiort af Ornäs’ own factory Puunveisto Oy in Helsinki, Finland. Today, the chair is available as a reissue.

Designer
Carl-Gustaf Vilhelm ”Nalle” Hiort af Ornäs (1911–1996) was a Finnish interior architect and designer, whose most famous design is the Siesta armchair from 1952. In 1945 Hiort af Ornäs founded the furniture company Puunveisto Oy, for which he developed versatile techniques for shaping plywood. Hiort af Ornäs spent his retirement in Spain, and designed several buildings for Fuengirola’s Los Pacos neighbourhood, which has a large Finnish population.

”Both my purchases were excellent quality, priced at a very reasonable level and delivered in a matter of days despite me being the other side of the World. There is simply no way to describe that kind of a Company except amazingly good.”

”I ordered a HAY side table that was on back order everywhere else. It was a few hundred crowns more at Finnish Design Shop, but shipped the next day and was delivered to my door two days later, which I think was worth the extra cost. It came well-packaged, protected and the item is in perfect condition. I’m happy and would shop here again.”
