RFH Lounge Chair RD8 by Robin Day

Originally created for the Royal Festival Hall, the RFH Lounge Chair showcases a soft, inviting character. Small in footprint, part of the chair’s charm lies in its low and compact form, offering a lounge piece with a striking silhouette that can be placed in the most modest of spaces.
Perfectly paired with the RD7 Armchair.

Born and raised in the furniture making town of High Wycombe, Robin Day (1915-2010) grew up surrounded by timber yards and cabinetmaking workshops. Robin and his wife Lucienne Day (textile designer and artist) are often compared with their American contemporaries, Charles and Ray Eames.

Available upholstered in the &Tradition selections, or made to order in a wide choice of fabric types and colours (see a list under ‘Details’). Fabrics are priced in ‘Groups’. Simply select the appropriate price Group and then add a note of your fabric choice at checkout or email us.
