The Daystak Side Chair is among the first of Robin Day’s works to enter &Tradition’s classics collection. Day employed innovative techniques to fashion subtle, ergonomic curves for his designs, akin to those seen in the Daystak Side Chair.
Today’s reissue is offered in two versions: an all-beech variant, and a beech frame with the addition of a walnut veneer applied to the front of the backrest and top seat for a dual-toned, modern aesthetic. The chair can be used in a variety of home, dining and office settings and the pieces stack in numbers of up to five for convenience.
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.
