ROBIN DAY Series E Side Chair
The Series E stackable chair, crafted from injection-molded polypropylene, was designed by Robin Day, a master of British modern design. This affordable yet stylish British school chair was designed in 1971 by Robin Day, a leading British designer of the mid-century period, often referred to as the British Eames. Ergonomically designed for school chairs, it combines durability and safety. Its quality, meeting strict European standards for educational chairs, ensures a thoroughly affordable yet unaffected design. More than 50 years after its design, it continues to be beloved worldwide. The seat is made of high-quality polypropylene, offering moderate impact resistance and durability. The distinctive rounded rectangular hole in the center of the chair facilitates portability and reduces the amount of polypropylene used, resulting in a lighter weight. The PP (polypropylene) used for the shell was a cutting-edge material at the time. In 1963, Hille and Robin Day developed the first injection-molded polypropylene chair and mass-produced it. Together with the Series E, this product was what led Robin Day to be known as the "British Eames." Nowadays, injection-molded chairs are commonplace, and PP chairs are commonly seen in everyday life, but the Series E was light and durable, and was available at an affordable price even back then. It can be said to be a product that embodies the design philosophy of Robin Day, who popularized modern design around the world. Source: https://www.truss.jp/
