4 x Mid Century Pieff Lisse Velvet Brass Geometric Dining Chairs Vintage Retro MCM
A very rare set of four beautiful high backed Lisse dining chairs featuring brass gold frames and they are beautifully upholstered in black, brown and gold geometric velvet.
Designed by Tim Bates and made by Pieff from the 1970s, made in their factory in Lye, West Midlands.
Pieff of Worcester was one of the most important manufacturers of high-end British furniture during the 1960’s and 1970’s, describing itself as ‘luxury furniture of the late 20th century’.
Retailed by Harrods and Heals, their products personify British mid century design.

Pieff furniture was a range of avant-garde furniture designed and produced in Cradley Heath near Birmingham from 1970 until 1983. The company was formed as “Production Facilities Limited” in 1953 by Frederick Bates and son David, and produced contract furniture for hospitals, coffee bars and canteens, and other commercial uses.
Tim Bates, David’s younger brother, joined the company in 1966, and in 1969 they introduced a new range of modern up–market contract furniture. Tim had studied design and gained experience by working in the factory, so was appointed to lead the Design and Development of this new product range. The new range was introduced to the trade at the Decor Furniture Exhibition in May 1970, and around this time the company changed its name to Pieff Furniture. Publicity photographs - created by marketing man Peter Donnelly and his company, Donnelly Burn - showed the new furniture against a background of Lamborghini supercars, and following this Italian connection the first two model ranges were named Eleganza and Suntuoso.
Although the Pieff range was originally aimed at up-market contract buyers, it was soon extended to appeal to retail customers and within two years was stocked by the leading retailers across the UK including Harrods, Heals, Waring & Gillow, John Lewis, House of Fraser and many more, and regular exports were also being made to customers in North America, the Gulf States, Australia and Hong Kong.
By the mid-1970s Pieff Furniture could be seen on television programmes such as “This Is Your Life”, “Blake's Seven”, “The Good Life” and many more, and the British government’s Property Services Agency was buying Pieff Furniture for use in prestige locations in government offices and British Embassies around the world.
A casualty of the industrial recession of the 1980s, Pieff Furniture went into receivership in May 1983. Then, local company PEL Ltd of Oldbury purchased the Pieff product range and remaining stock. Currently, the Pieff name belongs to P. F. Collections Ltd of Long Eaton, Nottingham.

By Tim Bates, Pieff and Co.
Located in Llanbrynmair, GB
An exceptional original Pieff Gamma red leather suite. Originally purchased from Harrods in the 1970s this is a one owner set of the highest quality.
The Pieff Gamma range was not produced in large numbers so complete sets like these are rare to find. As with all Pieff furniture, they were made to last with high quality chrome bases and the very best leather. This red suite is a statement piece and will make a stunning addition to a stylish interior.
In excellent original condition, some age related wear to the leather but no rips of tears. the chrome is also in excellent condition with only a few minor blemishes as is to be expected from this 50yr old piece. The Swivel bases work perfectly with newly fitted bearings. The Pirelli rubber seats...
