Robin Day was a British designer whose work redefined modern furniture and shaped the landscape of 20th-century design.  His philosophy centered on creating high-quality, stylish furniture that could be mass-produced and accessible to everyone, not just the elite. His innovative use of materials like molded plastic and bent plywood, paired with a minimalist aesthetic, revolutionised the industry. Collaborating closely with Hille Furniture, Day’s designs became synonymous with post-war modernism, gracing homes, schools, and public spaces worldwide. Beyond his design achievements, Day was a champion of sustainability, advocating for durable, responsible production methods long before it became a mainstream concern.  Hille’s promotional brochure states, “Correct support is given to the lumbar region of the back” showing Day’s early adoption of ergonomics.
Very desirable furniture to add a distinct mid century modern aesthetic to your home.
