Description
The RD7 was initially produced during 1951, in the midst of Robin Day’s self-declared annus mirabilis in which he designed the seating for the Royal Festival Hall auditorium and made significant contributions to the Festival Of Britain, the RD7 armchair. Created with the foyer of the Royal Festival Hall in mind, the RD7 features a form-moulded plywood backrest with delicate rod legs, alongside a seat which is upholstered in luxurious Hallingdal fabric.
A sculptural masterpiece, and one as aesthetically inviting as it is comfortable, today the RD7 RFH Armchair is produced by &Tradition, who have meticulously produced a rendition of the chair that honours Day’s original vision completely.
