Interesting danish lounge chair  

I think I solved it myself.
It seems to be a H.W. Klein for Bramin (1960) - if anyone knows more I'd be glad to know.
 

Tribler, are you in the habit of talking to yourself? You seem adept at it 😉
I have always liked his stuff. I think H.W. Klein is one of those under-the-radar Danish designers whose stuff is starting to attract interest now that the bigger names are so expensive.
I can't recall ever handling one of his pieces. What did you think of the build quality? 

Dear SD
talking to myself must be a sign of age 😉
The chair is for sale and I have only seen the pictures, so I don't know about build quality. But from other Klein-furnitures I have seen, it's usually good.
I agree with you, that he is overlooked, but generally the more unknown Danish designers are beginning to become more popular. Also names such as kurt østervig, Hans Olsen, etc...
 

I am curious where you found documentation on the chair...?

Tribler, in your #4 you hit a number of my personal buttons.
I own Östervig and like him. I have really looked at Hans Olsen and backed off although he has done really good things.
Here are some of my own under-the-radar guys.
William Watting, an American who moved and then worked in Denmark. He made stuff like book shelves, tables, sideboards. Worth keeping in mind.
Kai or Kaj Winding. The best things he made were top opening storage lockers using cane. Just great and really practical. But he also made side chairs and other stuff. Worked with Poul Hundevad of Guldhöj fame. 
Fredrik A. Kayser. The best Norwegian designer hands down. I am trying to put together a monograph on Kayser to show his dominant position in Norwegian design. I also think he also ranks well among Scandinavian design. I think he is considered too "Danish" to be really popular in Norway but he did stuff no Danes (or Norwegian) did. Died at 42 before he hit his prime.
G.A. Berg. He is the Kaare Klint or le Corbusier Sweden but hitherto unacknowledged. Good designer, ideolog, pioneer. Kinda rare.
William Wohlert. One REALLY GREAT chair that I missed buying when I was a beginner and didn't trust my own convictions.
Einar Larsen and Bender Madsen. They are like Hvidt/Mölgaard or Fabricius/Kastholm, Fred/Ginger, Tinkers-Evers-Chance, Mantle/Marris. Batman/Robin. (Sorry just having fun).
 

SD - well I'm happy we share common taste.
I'm really into Kayser (seeking the Bambi cane lounge chair) as well and also looking for Larsen & Bender Madsen items.
But you put new names to the list that I have to check out - thanks a lot!
Actually I work as a journalist in Denmark (TV), but have considered doing a book about a group of under the radar guys, who deserves more spotlight 🙂
All the best 

Tribler,
You wrote something I thought was very interesting about Kayser. You attribute the Bambi to Kayser. I am also convinced that the Bambi was designed by Kayser. But so far, the accepted attribution is to Raastad & Relling.
Here is the deal. R&R are a design company of architects. Kayser worked there from 1952 - 1956 I believe. The Bambi was presented around this time. (Somebody like Leif might have better info than we do on this.) I have tried to dig into the designs of Rolf Raastad and Adolf Relling individually. Some luck. Raastads stuff does not look at all like the Bambi. And don't confuse Adolf with Ingmar Relling. Ingmar did the Siesta, works in bent wood, is very different from Bambi and I think came later than Bambi.
I have seen R&R give the name of another designer only once. On their company site, they attribute the "Krysset" chair to Kayser.
I have written to R&R in Oslo and asked them if they could confirm or refute that Kayser designed the Bambi. Total radio silence. Black hole.
Nevertheless, I think the Bambi has Kayser's style written all over it.

Dear ScanDesign.
I recently fell over this deskription about Fredrik Kayser. I don't know if there is any news for you?
still on Bambi hunt 🙂
 
FREDRIK KAYSER (1924-68) (hentet fra www.blomqvist.no)Fredrik Kayser arbeidet som tegner for Rastad & Relling Tegnekontor i to perioder, 1945/46 og 1952-56. I 1946 tegnet han sammen med Adolf Relling møbelklassikeren Kaminstolen og i 1955 den organisk, formede Kryss-stolen. 1956 etablerte Kayser eget tegnekontor og tegnet frilans for flere møbelprodusenter. For Viken Møbelfabrikk tegnet han den eksklusive skjenken Hertug som ble utført i teak eller palisander. De siste elleve årene av sitt liv hadde Kayser et svært fruktbart samarbeid med Vatne Lenestolfabrikk. Flere av hans designklassikere som lenestolen 807 og de laminerte stolene 108 og 109 er fra denne perioden. Med armlenestolen 711 vant Kayser førstepremie i Bransjerådet for Møbel- og Innredningsindustriens stolkonkurranse i 1960. 711 produseres i dag av L.K. Hjelle og 807 av Vatne Møbler.Utdannelse:1945 Diplom, Statens Håndverks- og KunstindustriskoleUtmerkelser i utvalg:1960 1. premie, Bransjerådet for Møbel- og Innredningsindustriens stolkonkurranse1965 Merket for god design1968 Merket for god design
