We're saddened with the news that furniture designer Robin Day has sadly passed away. Best known for his mass-produced polypropylene stacking chair, Day, and his wife Lucienne, were pioneers of British design after World War II.
As a small and humble tribute, we've put together a selection of our favourite designs by Day which represent his flair for creating iconic pieces using steel, wood, upholstery ..... and a wonderful imagination.
