Norwegian furniture manufacturer, Vatne Møbler has a rich legacy underscored by visionary collaborations with iconic Norwegian furniture designers.

Vatne Møbler was established in 1946 by Knut Sæter in the village of Vatne, Norway.
Sæter was an interior architect who studied at the Bergen School of Arts and Crafts. He designed and manufactured the company’s first pieces.

In 1955, interior architect Gerhard Berg started working for Vatne Møbler. His designs soon became popular. Later in the 1950s, furniture designer Fredrik A. Kayser began creating pieces for Vatne Møbler. His furniture earned the company international acclaim. In 1960, Kayser’s 711 chair for Vatne Møbler won first place at an Industry Council chair competition.

After Kayser died in 1968, the company was overseen by interior designer Sigurd Resell. Resell’s most enduring contribution to Vatne Møbler was the 1970 Falcon armchair. The comfortable, leather-upholstered, X-framed chair came in second place at an Industry Council chair competition. In the 1970s, Resell designed a series of striking glass-topped Falcon coffee tables.

Vatne Møbler’s success lasted through the 1980s, a decade which included a collaboration with furniture designer Olav Eldøy.

In 1989, the company encountered financial problems and was sold to Norwegian manufacturer Stokke AS.
