1960's Howard Keith Bambino Armchairs in Geometric Chenille Fabric
This pair of vintage Howard Keith Bambino armchairs is a true piece of mid-century British design. Freshly restored, with the character and aged patina of the woodwork preserved and professionally reupholstered in luxurious chenille, they pair authentic HK Furniture heritage with a soft, modern finish. They suit a living room, snug, bedroom or reading nook.
About Howard Keith & HK FurnitureHK Furniture was founded in 1933 by designer-maker Howard Keith. It became known for high-quality upholstered furniture, with designs like the Bambino, Encore and Viking making Keith one of Britain's leading designers of the 1940s and 50s. The company went on to supply luxury hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, cruise liners and private jets, and his family carried it on after his death in 1991. Original Bambino chairs are now highly collectable, and a matching pair is hard to find.
Restored in our Lancashire studio. Each chair was restored by hand at the Eclectic Trading Company, our family-run artisan studio in Lancashire. We repair, rebuild and re-cover every piece ourselves, so you receive a restored vintage armchair with provenance and craftsmanship, not a mass-produced reproduction.
