Museum worthy
The Siesta has been produced in over 800,000 units and is still in production. Over the years, the simple construction and design has remained the same, but the materiality, the thickness of the cushion and general detailing have changed with the trends.
The Siesta Chair can be found in permanent collections around the world, like the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Die Neue Sammlung in Munich, the Cooper-Hewitt in New York, and the National Museum Oslo.
In 1992, the Siesta was awarded the Classic Award for Design Excellence by the Norwegian Design Council.
