Rare Bambi Chair Designed by Han Pieck for Morris & Co Glasgow
About the Item
Rare bentply Bambi chair designed by Han Pieck (1924 - 2010) for Morris & Co of Glasgow. Circa 1946.
This beautiful chair was made in a very limited production of only 200. Made of layers of plywood moulded in a single sheet, with birch veneer to the one side, and sapele to the other.
In 1938 Neil Morris, son of the founder of Morris & Co Furniture, becomes one of the British innovators in using laminated wood for furniture design.
Dutch furniture designer Han Pieck studied at the Applied Art School in Amsterdam, with Mart Stam as one of his teachers. He was Influenced by Gerald Summers designs. After WWII he went to the United Kingdom, where collaborated with Neil Morris to manufacture the Bambi chair.
By repute, this example has been in the same family since purchased from Morris & Co. The printed maker's mark is no longer to the underside, there has been a later hand written addition.
The chair has been sympathetically re-finished by hand, keeping as much of the authentic marks as possible to highlight its genuine heritage. There have been three small birch veneer repairs, one to the inside right hand leg, and two to the back top. Please refer to the photographs 11 and 12.
The chair is structurally sound with no damage.

- Pair of Aesthetic Movement Small Folding Chairs E.W Godwin MannerLocated in Norwich, GBA pair of Aesthetic Movement small walnut low folding decorative chairs with cane seats, in the manner of E.W. Godwin. Circa 1870s. Free delivery to the UK via a selected parcel company. The walnut frames are in very good condition and have their original patina, showing some age with use, they have been lightly waxed. One of the chairs cane seats professionally re-caned, and it has been aged to resemble the other original cane seat. This same chair has had the under rail replaced in oak with two bolts, as shown in photograph number 12. This was done many years ago - I would say about 80 plus years, looking at the construction. Also added at a similar time under the seat, one small rail either side. The wooden dome...Category
