First introduced in the 2010s, this playful sculptural piece beautifully blurs the line between functional furniture and art.

the design is instantly recognizable in its whimsical interpretation of a young deer, with a beautifully rounded seat upholstered in soft faux fur and a wonderfully expressive backrest formed by a series of small antler-like wooden elements. The warm combination of natural european oak and american walnut gives the chair a sophisticated scandinavian character, while sawada’s playful japanese design language brings an unexpected sense of personality and imagination.

although conceived as a children’s chair, the bambi chair has an appeal that extends far beyond the nursery. Its compact sculptural form makes it equally charming as a design object, accent piece or occasional stool, and it looks particularly striking placed alongside other iconic contemporary furniture. A delightful example of contemporary collectible design with an unmistakable sense of wit and craftsmanship.
