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.
