RFH Terrace Chair
RFH Terrace Chair by Robin Day for &Tradition.
The RFH Terrace Chair was designed by Robin Day in 1951 to sit within the Royal Festival Hall's restaurant and foyer seating. The chair, which was never mass-produced, has become increasingly rare over the years, posing a challenge to &Tradition and the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation, who were determined to find one after seeing it in an old photograph.
Eventually, they were able to locate a single, well-preserved chair in the venue's archives, leading to the chair's revival in 2024.
The seat is constructed from durable teak slats of varying lengths, providing ergonomic benefits and a distinct, organic aesthetic. Its small size offers a light and airy feel, making it ideal for smaller city balconies and hospitality settings that aim to maximise space.
The seat is supported by black, high-strength bent steel tube legs, with a slightly raised arch creating a low-profile armrest for user support and easy movement.
To enhance comfort, a tailored cushion has been developed in two fabric options.
