Robin & Lucienne Day: The Living Legacies

This Friday, 25th September 2026
đź•• 6pm

Robin and Lucienne Day were pioneers of modern British design. From Robin’s groundbreaking furniture, including his iconic polypropylene chair to Lucienne’s bold and innovative textiles, their work transformed the way we live and continues to inspire designers today.

In this richly illustrated talk, Paula Day, daughter of Robin and Lucienne, explores her parents’ extraordinary careers and the challenges and rewards of preserving, reissuing and bringing their designs back to life for a new generation.

A wonderful opportunity to hear the story behind two of the most important names in post-war British design, told by someone who knew them personally.
