FJORDFIESTA Hans Brattrud designed the Scandia range in 1957 as a school project but he was not able to manufacture the chairs properly. In 1958 Brattrud saw laminated wooden products for the first time on a fair in Germany and understood that this was the right method for industrialising his Scandia design. High voltage laminating was at an very early stage but he convinced a factory in Norway, Hove Møbler, to buy equipment for wood laminating and they started manufacturing the Scandia range in 1961. Hans was predicted a very bright future after designing the Scandia chairs in 1957. They were manufactured in Norway and distributed all over the world until the early 1970`s. Today they are sold at auctions and vintage shops all over the world and have become a true Scandinavian classic. Hans had his own design office in Oslo from 1958 until 1963 and developed many national and international projects. Working on one of these projects made him interested in prefabricating houses. After this his primary focus was to develope designs for prefabricating houses and other architectural patents. Today the Scandia chair is manufactured exclusively by the norwegian company, Fjordfiesta with approval of Hans Brattrud. This is how I have understood his story, talking to Hans himself.
