Designed in 1951, the Daystak Table exemplifies Robin Day’s meticulous attention to detail and celebration of the material at hand. Showcasing the same striking, A-shaped legs as the Daystak Side Chair and Desk, the table sits in tandem with the rest of the collection to create a distinctly mid-century ensemble.

Solid beech, Beech veneer and Fenix Nano laminate.
Production Process
The solid beech frame is cut using a CNC machine. The frame is assembled using both glue and bolts with threaded inserts. The table top for both finishes is laminated and glued to an MDF core. It is then trimmed to size and solid wooden edging is glued around the border.
Robin Day (1915-2010) grew up in the furniture making town of High Wycombe, surrounded by timber yards and cabinetmaking workshops. After graduating from Royal College of Art in London, his dream of becoming a furniture designer was put on hold due to the outbreak of World War II. He instead developed his skills making drawings and models for architects, signwriting, producing showcards for fashion boutiques and teaching technical drawing and lettering part-time. He later went on to become an established exhibition designer before becoming a prolific furniture designer.
