My Falcon Chair

My latest thrift store score sent me soaring like a falcon....
Leather and rosewood Falcon chair by Sigurd Resell.



I snagged it quickly when I saw the $25.00 price tag.



Mr. Falcon is keeping Mr. Lamino company, like two peas in a pod.

• Sigurd Resell1920-

Resell,a Norway-born designer, started his career when a drawing for a competition was praised by Niels Vodder, a master furniture maker who created many fine works together with Finn Juhl. Later, a prototype was made from the drawing. In 1958, his SR 600 won an award at Copenhagen Cabinetmaker's Guild Exhibitions for craftsmen in Denmark.
One of Resell’s representative works, FALCON Chair, sold as a product of VATNE, a Norwegian furniture manufacturer, has been a long-selling item in Europe for over 30 years.

I found this sexy beast at the same store a while back.
He looks like a Jorge Wilmot.
It has no markings so I'm not positive on the ID.
