We discovered these chairs last year in John Lewis and imediatly fell in love with them. Not only are they a Robin Day classic deisgn but they are at the amazing price of just £59 each. Available in three colours; light grey, dark grey and red, these chairs would look great around a dining table mixed with other chairs, or on its own as an armchair in a living room or bedroom.

‘Robin Day designed the world’s first Polypropylene Chair in 1963 for the British furniture company Hille, and its combination of strength, affordability and sheer good lokks has never been equalled.

This pioneering design represented a breakthrough in furniture technology and has sold in tens of millions worldwide’
