The RFH Terrace Chair was originally designed by Robin Day to complement the outdoor terrace of the Royal Festival Hall in London. Small in proportion and decidedly simple in construction, the Terrace Chair is crafted from a combination of teak slats and a solid steel frame – attributing a distinctive, organic aesthetic.

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.
