pAwesomest name for a Norwegian furniture company: Fjordfiesta. /p

pA HREF=”http://www.fjordfiesta.no/site/main/forside.php?page_id=13″ Fjordfiesta/A is a small firm whose mission is “to combine continental elegance with Scandinavian simplicity,” and in addition to putting out modern stuff like the 2004 Nordica Dining Table, above, they also produce classics. Check out the ahead-of-its-time Scandia Senior Easy Chair, which designer Hans Brattrud banged out in 1957:/p

pWe’re guessing the original was designed using birch, but the currently-produced version you see here is made in American walnut or oak. /p
