Hello,

does anybody of you knows the designer of this Bramin armchair?

It is marked on the bottom with Bramin.

@molassekoeniggmxde Hi Jörg, interesting chair. Bramin worked with a number of different designers but H.W. Klein was their main designer. He lived in Bramming and drew for the company from the 50s until it closed in the 80s. I've never seen this chair and don't know anything about it, but chances are quite big that it's one of his designs.

Hello @Herringbone,

many thanks for your explanation.

Here the manufacturers stamp. Maybe it gives a hint when the chair was built.

I know the logo only in upper cases (beside of the 'a').

So I think it is more in the sixties than in the seventies or eighties.

If you google for 'Brahmin' (with the 'h'  😉 ) and 'Denmark' you find another chair where the stamp is much better to see.

Best Jörg

According to Lauritz the chair was drawn in 1959. I‘m surprised. The backrest still has a 70s feel to me. 
Never heard of both designers either.
