In 1968 Ressell became freelance chief designer of the Norwegian furniture manufacturer Vatne Lenestolfabrikk. In 1970, he designed a hammock-type armchair called Blank Vals, which emerged from an industrial design competition as the most successful piece of furniture. Vatne produced the seating from 1971 with the new name Falcon Chair, which sold so well, especially in the US, Japan, Germany, and Australia, that Vatne could triple its turnover within two years.

Creases to leather from use; one seat missing a button; the other seat with one loose button (but present); both chairs with fading to the brown sling.
