675 Chair by Robin Day
walnut wood , dark grey leather seat and black framework 
brand new 
online price £361

A design that has truly stood the test of time, the 675 Chair is one of the most recognised of the 20th century. Originally created in 1952, this Robin Day chairs most prominent feature is its curved walnut-veneered plywood back. Pioneering at the time, Robin Day overcame the difficulty of forming a single moulded plywood chair with armrests, by creating a fluid shape using a singular curve. In close collaboration with the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation, Case Furniture revisited the original 675 Chair design and faithfully reinstated, in the 2014 chair, the element and detail of the 1952 original.
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.
