Designed in 1951, the Daystak chair was one of Robin Day's first creations for the Hille brand. The Daystak chair recalls the days when Day made furniture from found materials while living in his first flat in London. During this period, Day used innovative techniques such as hand-bending plywood with steam from a kettle to create subtle, ergonomic curves, like those of the Daystak chair.
Now reissued by And Tradition, the Daystak chair is offered in two original versions: an all-beech variant and a second variant that includes a beech frame with the addition of a walnut veneer, applied to the front of the back and upper seat for a contemporary two-tone aesthetic. The legs of the chair meet in the centre of the seat to create an A shape, an aesthetic feature but also a functional one, as it allows the chairs to be stacked up to 8 high.
Since 2010, And Tradition builds a bridge between tradition and modernity by revisiting the history of Danish design. Founded in Copenhagen by Martin Kornbek Hansen, the brand renews with the great masters of the 20th century while accompanying contemporary talents, to offer a design that is sensitive, durable and resolutely current. Located in the heart of the Danish capital
