The West Street Chair is a pared-down design based on a simple cube shape. The result of a challenge that designer Robin Day took on to create a chair with the simplest form, the West Street chair started life as a personal project. Named after the home Robin and Lucienne Day moved to in 1999, the chair was taken on by Case as a simple desk or occasional chair.
“There’s this very vulnerable planet of ours with finite resources. Architects and designers have, I think, a fair responsibility for conserving energy and materials, and making things durable.” Robin Day
Robin and Lucienne modelled the interior of 21 West Street, just opposite Chichester cathedral, on a smaller version of their Chelsea home at Cheyne Walk. Robin built a small studio in the courtyard garden, where he finished the design of the West Street chair.
The solid wood frame has two upholstered leather pads that act as the seat and the back with the back pad angled slightly for extra comfort.
