Description
"In 1982 Lamb joined the Toronto- based Nienkämper, an upscale office furniture manufacturer. During his 8-year tenure, he helped to transform the company from a subcontractor for Knoll International to a leading manufacturer of Canadian design.
Throughout his life Lamb was interested in wood and particularly the properties of moulded plywood."
