Three original Robin Day Polypropylene chairs, manufactured by Hille and bearing the embossed maker’s mark — Hille · Made in Britain · Robin Day Design — moulded into the underside of each shell. Attribution is unambiguous.
Day designed the Polypropylene chair in 1963 for Hille, making it the first mass-produced polypropylene shell chair in the world. It was a genuinely democratic object — affordable, durable, stackable, and formally resolved. Over fourteen million were eventually made. You will have sat in one.
This set of three comes in two white shells on black rod bases and one charcoal shell on a white base — mixed colourways entirely consistent with institutional use across decades, and honest to how these chairs actually lived in the world. Cleaned and structurally sound. All three stack as designed.
Offered as a set. Priced accordingly.
Condition: Good vintage. Surface marks consistent with age. No cracks or structural issues.
