Case Forum 8327 Leather Sofa

The Forum designed by Robin Day is an icon of mid-century design. Originally designed in 1964, the sofa and armchair feature a hardwood frame beautifully crafted with a finger joint detail, supported by chrome plated legs mounted to the outside of the frame. The visible construction is integral to the design; Day purposefully exposed these elements to showcase the beauty of its form. 鈥婥ase has worked in close partnership with the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation to bring this iconic design back into production, nearly 60 years after it was first launched. Design drawings and an example of the original production were carefully studied and a new production developed which maintains the integrity of Robin Day"s design. Attention to detail has included recreating the exact seat angle and the full width timber plank casing, while incorporating modern materials such as Dacron-wrapped foam cushions to ensure ultimate comfort and cushion structure, solid walnut or oak to replace the tropical hardwood veneers used in the 1960s, and a metal-reinforced frame for strength and longevity
