As novas reedições de Robin Day

The new Robin Day reissues

Robin Day is the latest designer to join the world of &Tradition, the Danish brand known for its carefully curated collection of reissues and pieces by some of the most relevant contemporary designers. The British designer is an indispensable figure in 20th-century design, having risen to international prominence when he won MoMA's 'Low-Cost Furniture Competition' in 1948 with a storage system. Robin Day's work, marked by post-war optimism and a democratic approach to design, stands out for its immense creativity, materiality, and durability.

&Tradition is now introducing a selection of some of his iconic pieces, designed in the early 1950s, including the furniture commissioned at the time for the Royal Festival Hall. This project included the creation of the sculptural RD7 chair and RD8 armchair, and a set of outdoor furniture (top). The Daystak collection, which includes a chair, desk, and table, completes the reissues signed by Robin Day.

"My father became interested in the method used by modernist designers like Eames and Aalto to produce furniture with moulded plywood. This led him to make dining chairs with sheets of plywood that he cut and bent with steam from a domestic kettle."
Paula Day, the designer's daughter and founder of the Robin Day and Lucienne Day Foundation
