‘Tub’ from 1967

Posted by teamdustrial On December - 24 - 2007

The Poly Armchair was designed by Robin Day in 1967 and was originally named the ‘Tub’. This model is an “affordable” classic, really practical and ergonomic, but unfortunately impossible to pile up :(

Well, but let’s get back to what lead me to this post… today while wondering around i decided to go inside an old abandoned building, inside and for my surprise i found a bunch of these from the first series (what a nice christmas present !!!), some still in good condition to be restored the, colors are different from the ones produced nowadays and the iron four-legged base is coated with acrilic ink instead of chromed…

.: “designer” chairs for the price of a walk… I love when this happens ;)
