Hille and  Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation  have revived these designs in collaboration with John Lewis, hoping to bring them back ‘to the market with all the freshness and authority they had when they were first launched ‘. Available in the choice of 3 original colours, flame orange, dark grey and light grey, with affordability too, keeping within Robin’s focus for accessibility to all. Having just moved house and an unhealthy chair obsession, getting one of these was a must! The Armchair in dark grey is the perfect addition to my new studio, it looks stylish and is incredibly comfortable too. The chair arrives requiring partial assembly, simply to screw the 4 leg A-frame base to the seat. What’s even better is that this chair didn’t break the bank at £59 , which is a bargain for a design classic. My studio is slowly coming together, but not quite ready yet, this chair is a great step in the right direction. Robin Day chair info below Robin Day Polypropylene Side Chair, £49

Robin Day Polypropylene Armchair, £59It’s a bona fide design classic and as part of the designer’s 100th anniversary, Robin Day's 1963 polypropylene chair will be reissued in conjunction with John Lewis and the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation. The ‘school chair’ first appeared in 1963 and is reissued this year in both the side chair and armchair designs, as well as three original colours – light grey, charcoal and that wonderful orange. The chair features a plastic seat with rolled edges, which is held on Day's original P5 stacking frame, something that was removed from the design in the 1980s. So really back to basics here. The original chairs were created was pieces of affordable and functional design, so the reissues are along those lines too. If you want one, both will be part of a new Robin and Lucienne Day range at John Lewis, priced at £49 for the side chair and £59 for the armchair.Robin Day Design Furniture Furniture Ideas Plywood Industrial Design Armchairs Days In Stools Legs Forwards

The department store group said Lucienne greatly admired the John Lewis ethos and, with her furniture designer husband Robin Day, enjoyed a long and productive relationship with the company. The retailer has worked with The Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation and specialist textile print company Classic Textiles to create a range of cushions and fabrics. John Lewis furnishing fabrics buyer Charlotte Archer explained: “Lucienne and Robin were design consultants to the John Lewis Partnership for 25 years and played a big part in shaping the look and feel of the brand that you see today.

“The strength of Lucienne’s style makes her work stands out. Her simple but strong graphics, bold pops of colour and stylised approach to natural motifs has inspired decades of design. “We’re very pleased and proud to be introducing a limited edition collection of fabrics and cushions to selected John Lewis shops, using archived prints that have not been previously available.” Lucienne Day’s daughter Paula Day commented: ‘I’m absolutely delighted that in my mother’s centenary year, some of her greatest and best-loved 1950s textile designs will become far more widely available to the public. “This year John Lewis will bring ‘Lucienne Day at Classic Textiles’ to high streets all over the country. My mother brightened up British homes in the post-war period and I believe she will do so again this year. The designs look utterly fresh and contemporary – they bubble with life and energy.” The collection includes six cushion designs, two of which – Magnetic and Flotilla  – have been produced on a limited run with only 100 individually numbered cushions available (in celebration of the 100 years since Lucienne Day’s birth).

The four other cushions are: Calyx (a vibrant pattern featuring cupped flowers in abstracted form), Spectators (a witty print, which characterises Lucienne’s spirited approach to design), Dandelion Clocks (inspired by photographs of dried flowers in the house of Charles & Ray Eames) and Lapis (which highlights Lucienne’s use of colour, particularly her choice of unusual colour combinations). The square cushions measure 43cm x 43cm (Flotilla, Magnetic) retailing at £45 or 50cm x 50cm (Calyx, Dandelion Clocks) retailing at £50. The rectangular cushions (Spectators, Lapis) measure 40cm x 60cm retailing at £55. The cushions’ patterned fabric (on one side only) is made by Classic Textiles in a blend of 60% cotton and 40% linen fabric. Each cushion contains a feather pad. The fabrics are made under licence from The Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation by specialist digital print company Classic Textiles. There are six designs: Magnetic, Calyx, Graphica, Flotilla, Silver Birch and Lapis.

Priced at £75/m, the fabrics are available at John Lewis shops in Poole, Oxford St, Cheadle, Trafford, Kingston, Glasgow and Chichester from late February. The launch of this collection forms part of a centenary programme which sees leading cultural organisations, galleries and creative institutions (including The Whitworth Art Gallery, Arts University Bournemouth, Glasgow School of Art, Pallant House Gallery and the Textile Society) launch exhibitions, events and awards to highlight the many different aspects of Lucienne’s life and work. The varied programme will introduce the public to little-known material including archive textiles, ceramics, photographs and portraits of Lucienne that have never been exhibited or published before. An exhibition is currently being held at The John Lewis Heritage Centre at Cookham in Berkshire entitled ‘Creation of our Corporate Character – the legacy of Lucienne and Robin Day, a Partnership Perspective’. The Heritage Centre holds an archive of relevant documents and images, as well as a unique collection of Lucienne Day’s own original textiles artwork.
