&Tradition – RFH Lounge Chair RD8
Showcasing a soft, inviting character, the RFH Lounge Chair designed by Robin Day in 1951 follows the same design principles as the RFH Armchair. Small in footprint, part of the chair’s charm lies in its low and compact form, offering a lounge piece with a striking silhouette that can be placed in the most modest of spaces.
The RFH Lounge Chair was influential with regards to establishing the foundations of what was then referred to in the British design scene as ‘contemporary’, now known as mid-century modern. Showcasing a soft, inviting character, the RFH Lounge Chair could at one time be found occupying the Royal Festival Hall’s foyer, overlooking the Thames River.
