Robin Day 675 Designer Armchairs

A design that has truly stood the test of time, each of these 675 chairs are the authentic licensed production of the original 1952 design, endorsed by the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation. The chair’s most prominent feature is its curved walnut-veneered plywood back. Pioneering at the time, Robin Day overcame the difficulty of forming a single moulded plywood chair with armrests by creating a bent shape using a singular curve rather than a double curve. In close collaboration with the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation, Case has revised the dimensions of the chair, making ​these present day versions slightly smaller and more compact - as it was originally designed to be. Finished with a walnut-veneered ply back, black powder-coated steel frame and black leather upholstered seat pad – in the words of Robin Day: ‘metal for strength and lightness ... wood for touch and appearance.’ These 675s are comfortable for long periods of use thanks to the large seat pad, and are equally at home in an office or dining space. This pair were bought, but never used and have sat in dry, secure storage since 2021. Not a mark or blemish on either chair.
