Awesomest name for a Norwegian furniture company: Fjordfiesta.

Fjordfiesta 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.

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