The Case Forum 2 Seater Sofa, designed by Robin Day in 1964, is a distinctive expression of British modernist design.
Combining an exposed hardwood frame, precision finger-jointed detailing and generously upholstered cushions, this iconic sofa brings architectural character and lasting appeal to contemporary living spaces.
The defining feature of the Forum collection is its bold approach to construction. Rather than hiding the timber framework beneath the upholstery, Robin Day placed it on the outside of the sofa, turning its structural elements into an integral part of the design. The result is a striking silhouette that celebrates craftsmanship, material honesty and the beauty of well-resolved proportions. Available with a solid oak or walnut frame, the Forum 2 Seater Sofa introduces natural warmth and texture to the living room. Its visible finger joints highlight the precision of the woodworking, while the chrome-plated steel legs create a crisp contrast against the timber. The combination of wood, metal and upholstery gives the sofa a distinctive mid-century character that works equally well in contemporary and more traditional interiors. Comfort is central to the design. Dacron-wrapped foam cushions provide a welcoming seat and supportive back, balancing the sofa's structured frame with a softer, more relaxed feel. A choice of bouclé fabric or leather upholstery allows the design to be tailored to your interior, whether you prefer tactile texture, understated neutrals or a more luxurious finish.
At 152.5 cm wide, the Forum 2 Seater Sofa is ideal for smaller living rooms, apartments and intimate seating areas. Its carefully considered proportions provide comfortable seating without the footprint of a larger sofa, making it a versatile choice for both compact homes and layered seating arrangements.
Case Furniture worked closely with the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation to bring this celebrated design back into production, using original drawings and examples to preserve its distinctive character. Contemporary materials and a reinforced frame enhance durability while respecting the original 1964 design. Pair the Forum 2 Seater Sofa with the matching Forum Armchair to create a coordinated living room, or combine it with a contrasting lounge chair and a sculptural coffee table for a more individual arrangement. Its exposed frame and timeless profile ensure it remains a focal point without overwhelming the surrounding space.
