Addi by Sigurd Resell - a classic is being relaunched

The Addi chair shows that good design is sustainable. The design classicis now being relaunched.

The history of the Addi chair

Addi became one of Helland Lenestolfabrikk's greatest successes in the1960s and 1970s. Resell was known for his clear constructions and elegant lines and used these techniques in the development of the Addi chair. The solid construction made the chair robust and durable for public use. The straight lines gave the chair a classic expression that fit into meeting rooms, cafes, hotels, boats etc. The chair was produced in large quantities right up until the mid-70s.

The designer Sigur Resell

Sigurd Resell was one of the country's most distinctive designers in the 1950s and 1960s. Resell trained as a carpenter and later studied at the Wood Department at the Norwegian School of Crafts and Arts in the period 1943-1947. After his studies, he worked at Rastad and Relling Tegnekontor and designed some of the post-war period's most robust furniture. He has also designed several commercial pieces of furniture such as the dining chair Blinken (1956) and chairs in the Bambi series (1955). In 1960 Resell designed the chair Addi for Helland Lenestolfabrikk. In 1970 Resell designed the Blankvals chair, later known as Falcon, for a furniture competition initiated by the Industry Council. Falcon was produced the following year byVatne Lenestolfabrikk.
