Hi All

It's been a while since I've posted stuff... I have recently put together some info on a Mid Century Modern furniture factory called Frystark Furniture - anyone interested can visit our website.

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing.
The rocking chair that looks exactly like a Frank Reenskaug for Bramin, what is the story with it? It looks identical in the photo. Admittedly lots of difference could be apparent with good photos. Was it licensed, or not, do you think?

Hi Leif, I don't know about license etc. I do know that the owner travelled to Europe to buy veneer, visit trade fairs & factories (France and son was one of them). He did this from 1960 - 1969 every year. I'm going to update this on my website in the next few days!
