Ingmar Relling was a renowned Norwegian furniture designer who made significant contributions to the field of mid-century design. He was born on May 12, 1920, in Bergen, Norway, and passed away on September 25, 2002, leaving behind a rich legacy of innovative and functional furniture designs.

Relling studied at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry (now known as the Oslo National Academy of the Arts), where he graduated in 1947. He initially started his career as a designer at Rastad & Relling Tegnekontor, a renowned architectural firm in Oslo. During his time there, he collaborated with other prominent Norwegian designers, including Rolf Rastad.

In 1950, Relling established his own furniture design studio in Oslo, where he began creating his distinctive pieces. He gained international recognition for his work, particularly during the mid-century modern movement, which emphasized clean lines, functionality, and simplicity.
