Designed as part of Robin Day’s first low-cost furniture collection for Hille in 1951, the Daystak Desk works in tandem with the Daystak Side Chair and Daystak Table, all of which correlate aesthetically with Day’s timeless mid-century design.
The desk is available in solid beech, with or without a Fenix Nano laminate top in Verde Comodoro. Influenced by the notion of flexible design, the drawer can be fixed on either side of the desk at the time of its installation.
Wanting to keep the collection’s essence intact, &Tradition worked with the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation to ensure all reissued pieces remain as true to the original design as possible, including only minor adjustments to meet the needs and impact considerations for 21st-century users.
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.
