Robin Day catalogue
Congratulations on finding such great chairs. The Chevron chair is such a classic with its simple, elegant design. I was curious if anyone out there in design land had a copy of an early Robin Day catalogue? I have the Lesley Jackson book, but it's impossible to read the tiny catalogue copies.
I am a big fan of Robin Day and we don't get much of his furniture in Australia. I have been lucky enough to find 2 Robin Day chairs, the origins of one of them is a complete mystery. It's a 658 Festival Hall lounge chair in rosewood with no padding and stamps for Hille and John Stuart ( U.S. Stockist).
It originally came from the U.S. I was wondering if any of the Robin Day experts might know the origin of the chair. I suspect it was a custom piece that may have been created for an exhibition or customer in the U.S.
I have included a link to the original auction, but I purchased it from a dealer. Be interested to hear your thoughts.
Cheers,
Tick.
