Possibly one of our favourite chairs and very glad to see it back, the Forum designed by Robin Day is an icon of mid-century design. Originally designed in 1964 by Robin Day, the sofa and armchair feature a hardwood frame beautifully crafted with a finger joint detail, supported by chrome plated legs mounted to the outside of the frame.
Paula Day; Founder, Trustee & Chair, The Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation comments: “I grew up with my father Robin Day’s Forum. He furnished our living room at Cheyne Walk with two Forum sofas when they first launched in the 1960s, and chose to continue using them for nearly half a century. With this bold design, he challenged the convention of hiding a sofa’s timber frame under the upholstery, instead placing it on the outside to create the Forum’s handsome and unmistakable signature feature. So it’s a real pleasure to see the original Forum returning in Case’s authentic reissue. Case has worked with dedication to achieve a high-quality new production which is true to the original dimensions and respectful of the original aesthetic.”
Robin Day OBE (1915 - 2010) was one of the most acclaimed and significant British furniture designers of the 20th Century. His influential furniture designs introduced materials such as plywood, steel and plastic into the modern design world. His iconic designs have a place in design history, one of our favourites is the Case 675 Chair. (Photograph above courtesy of : The Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation)
