Case 675 Chair

Designed by Robin Day
Manufactured by Case

The 675 Chair by Robin Day is an iconic design that has truly stood the test of time. It is one of the most recognisable chairs of the Twentieth Century and in 2015 was awarded the prestigious Design Guild Mark Award.

Originally created in 1952, the 675 chair’s most prominent feature is its curved plywood back. Pioneering at the time, Robin Day overcame the difficulty of forming a single moulded plywood chair with armrests, by creating a bent shape using a singular curve rather than a double curve. In collaboration with the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation, Case Furniture has revised the dimensions of the chair, making the 2014 version slightly smaller and more compact – as it was originally designed to be. The chair back, available in walnut veneer, offers an accentuated curve making the dip marginally deeper to form more of a point.
