Why this matters?
Robin Day (1915 - 2010) was one of the most acclaimed British furniture designers of the
20th Century whose outstanding body of work made a major contribution to world
design. With his wife, textile designer Lucienne Day, he pioneered a new modern idiom
which transformed British design after World War II.
Robin Day helped shape the post-war furniture industry by introducing new materials such
as plywood and polypropylene to bring contemporary design to the wider public at
affordable prices. He was convinced that good design could improve the quality of
people’s lives.
The Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation, a design education Charity was set up by the couple’s daughter in 2012. As well as running an Awards programme for design students, the Foundation collaborates on educational projects and is developing a digital archive which is an important resource for exhibition curators, design historians and writers.
The chairs are available to view at Heal's flagship, Tottenham Court Road from 31st July. For further information please click here.

Christopher Farr
Christopher Farr Cloth was founded in 2000 as a collaboration between Christopher Farr, Michal Silver and Matthew Bourne. Drawing on their art backgrounds the collection quickly focused around prints. Together, they discovered an artisanal print house on the outskirts of London that became a laboratory for experiments and played a central role in the development of the collection. The strong geometric nature of the repeating pattern is softened through the subtle hand painted irregularities of the artist.

Darkroom
Darkroom is a bold design brand based in London. The Darkroom concept is defined by a love of the bold and the brave, the crafted and the curious. It strives to make good design accessible, whilst also questioning the norm. Geometric shapes for the core inspiration of Darkroom’s output. The imperfections and idiosyncrasies of hand making, and hand painting geometric forms create a textile that is hard to age – was it made recently or decades ago. Darkroom wanted to explore the time scale between the design of the 675 chair and now.

Eleanor Pritchard
With a strong affinity for the aesthetics and philosophy of Mid-century design, Eleanor Pritchard’s textile collections reinterpret such iconic styles for a modern-day audience. Using understated geometric patterns, calm greys and blues are mixed with shots of yellow and green to bring a modern twist to British heritage. For the 675 chair the Caldbeck fabric was chosen as the petrol green perfectly complements the walnut back whilst the black lines in the fabric echo the black frame of the chair. A line of piping in the petrol green ground offers a clean, crisp finish to the piece.

The fabric is woven in a luxurious technical construction, which resembles needlepoint embroidery.

SIGNED IN AS :
When bidding on an auction item, if you enter more than the minimum increment for an item then your bid will be used for proxy bidding. This is how it works:
1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
2. jumblebee places a bid on your behalf, using the minimum amount required to make you the highest bidder, i.e. current bid price plus bid increment OR the reserve price, if there is one and it can be covered by your proxy bid.
3. jumblebee continues to bid on your behalf, whenever you are outbid by another
member's bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded or the auction is won.
4. jumblebee will notify you by email if your maximum bid is outbid by another member and provided the auction is still running, you will then have a chance to enter a new
maximum bid if you wish.
For example:
The current bid on an auction item is £100. The minimum increment is £10. You enter a bid of £150 (your maximum bid).
Using your bid, but increasing only by the minimum increment, jumblebee sets the current bid to £110.
Another person bids £130 but they are immediately outbid by jumblebee bidding on your behalf and the current bid goes up to £140.
The auction finishes and you have won the auction item at a price of £140.
