& 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 21stcentury users .
Part of the RFH Collection , the RD8 RFH Lounge Chair could at one time be found occupying the Royal Festival Hall ’ s foyer , overlooking the River Thames . Only a handful of the original chairs now survive , a very rare piece held in a private collection in northern England provided the template for developing the reissue by & Tradition .
The RFH Lounge Chair ’ s charm lies in its low , compact form and striking silhouette . This classic piece can be placed in even the most modest of spaces around the home or office . Made from layers of lacquered walnut and beech veneer which are form-pressed and a powder-coated steel frame . The padded seat and back cushion are offered in two different textile tones .
The RFH collection , his first major commission , consisted of a lounge chair and armchair , an outdoor chair and outdoor table in two sizes , – encompassing designs for every location . All of these designs are available to buy at nest . co . uk .
“ A designer of remarkable ingenuity , Robin Day ’ s works were not only considered to achieve an equilibrium between comfort and utility , but expressed an optimistic approach towards the future of design ” & Tradition www . nest . co . uk
