The RFH Terrace Chair was originally designed with the RFH Terrace Table to complement the Royal Festival Hall’s outdoor terraces and restaurant and foyer seating during the Festival of Britain in 1951.
Paula Day, daughter of Robin Day and Chair of the Robin Day and Lucienne Day Foundation commented, “This is probably the most remarkable reissue we will ever do”.
Made from teak, the chairs are durable and petite in proportion, making them well-suited to smaller city balconies, patios, or when trying to maximise space in high-traffic areas or hospitality settings. To add a layer of comfort, a precisely tailored cushion has been developed in two complementary options: Heritage Papyrus for a natural feel or Heritage Char for a bolder, darker look to match the frame.
Born in 1915 in Hertfordshire, British furniture designer Robin Day won a scholarship to his local art school in the early 1930's and worked for a brief period in a local furniture factory before going to the Royal College of Art. Over the last 50 years Robin Day has designed furniture for many important buildings in the UK and abroad, including concert halls and theatres, airports, stations and stadiums. His design influence has had impact on every day life, with his pioneered development of injection moulded plastic one-piece chairs. Tens of millions of Robin Day chairs have been sold bringing design innovation to a truly global audience.
