RFH Armchair RD7 by Robin Day
Originally created for the Royal Festival Hall dining rooms, the RFH Armchair by Robin Day is characterised by the softly curved backrest and outwardly reaching arms.
Rich in materiality, the chair’s striking form is achieved through a process of form-press moulding layers of beech and walnut veneer.
Perfectly paired with the RFH Lounge Chair RD8 available separately.
Born and raised in the furniture making town of High Wycombe, Robin Day (1915-2010) grew up surrounded by timber yards and cabinetmaking workshops. Robin and his wife Lucienne Day (textile designer and artist) are often compared with their American contemporaries, Charles and Ray Eames.
