Story
From the Royal Festival Hall collection
RD5 is part of Robin Day's Royal Festival Hall collection, and Day lived from 1915 to 2010. &Tradition says the table brings a soft yet industrial demeanour to a lawn or a terrace.
Made to come apart
Disassembly is built into the design, so parts can be repaired, renovated or replaced more simply. The frame is steel, a recyclable durable metal.
