DAY TODAY



It's not often we come across a true design classic in Ireland - but this Days Forum brown leather and ash armchair designed by Robin Day is definitely a classic... and the ultimate in luxury. Robin Day's radical 1964 design puts the structure on the outside; an exterior metal square bar frame with oak panels and Italian brown premium leather upholstery. This is an iconic design and a must for anyone who loves mid century modern. Supremely comfortable and supremely stylish! Size: W94 x H74 x D83cm, seat height: 45cm.
