Robin Day

Robin Day chairs are some of the most acclaimed and significant British furniture pieces of the 20th century. His influential furniture designs introduced materials such as plywood, steel and plastic into the modern design world.

Product details

An icon of 20th century design, the 675 was created in 1952 by Robin Day. The legendary British designer used innovatively moulded plywood to shape the chair’s walnut-veneered backrest and armrests in a single, fluid curve. 


In close collaboration with the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation, Case revisited the original design with careful attention to detail. 

Case have been willing to go the extra mile to develop a product which is very close to my fathers actual 1952 design. The result is startlingly fresh and authoritative; one glance is enough to convince that this is the real Robin Day 675 design, vigorous, poised and finely proportioned. Like all his chairs, it is also very comfortable.

- Paula Day, daughter of Robin & Lucienne Day.

No assembly required.

 

The 675 Chair was awarded the prestigious Design Guild Mark in 2015. The Design Guild Mark is awarded by The Furniture Makers Company in order to drive excellence and raise the profile of British design and innovation.

Care Instructions

To prolong the life of the product and retain its appearance and functionality,
we would like to give you some relevant information and care advice:

This unit is manufactured from: oak or walnut veneer, with a leather or fabric seat pad and a choice of black powder coat or stainless steel frame.

Craftsmen manufacture this product and there is variety between each unit. This is because wood is a natural product, with natural colour and grain variations. It is recommended that no abrasive cleaners or solvents are used to clean the unit.

Please only use proprietary furniture polishes or alternatively, warm water with a diluted mild detergent.

Natural timber is affected by sunlight; this can the wood colour to darken. For this reason (especially if placed in direct sunlight) it is recommended that placing objects in the same position for long periods of time is avoided. This potential colour adjustment becomes less relevant as the product ages. We recommend that upholstered items are professionally cleaned when needed.

Fabric Cleaning:

  • Do not use cleaning solvents of any kind.
  • Never let water saturate fabric or pool in seams.
  • Brush pile fabrics lightly with a stiff bristle brush to remove minor stains and to regain original appearance. Do not rub or use excessive force when brushing.
  • Prevent spills from turning into stains by blotting them immediately with a clean dry cloth. Always blot from the outer edge of a spill inward to help avoid a stain ring from forming. Do not use water to remove oil-based stains.

Leather Cleaning:

  • Dust is the enemy of leather upholstery, causing it to wear excessively and crack. Remove dust by wiping away with a dry cloth regularly and vacuum using the appropriate attachments. Do not use dust-cleaning products intended for wood furniture, which can damage leather.
  • Some stains will blend into leather over time and become part of its patina.
