Collection Story
Origin
The RFH Collection is the pair of Robin Day chairs that &Tradition lists together: the RFH Armchair RD7 and the RFH Lounge Chair RD8, both dated 1951 on the manufacturer's pages. The armchair began, in the words of its page, as seating for diners at the Royal Festival Hall, and the lounge chair's page says that it follows the same design principles.
Design Language
Both chairs combine walnut and beech veneer with a powder-coated steel frame and an upholstered seat. The pages show both with Hallingdal 103 on a walnut and beech veneer, and both fact sheets show a black frame with Hallingdal 103 or 227. FSC certified wood is stated for both chairs.
