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.

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.
