I agree, this doesn’t look comfortable. However Day’s FORUM sofa is very comfy. It is essentially the same elements set in a frame, with leather covers. Ours is seating perfection.

I must say, I had one of these for a long time, and it’s groovy and all, but NOT comfortable. It’s dreadful to sit in - the seating base is too wide/deep for most people and then the back is short, so you wind up slumping in it. Like I said, people loved looking at it, and then after about a half hour, they’d go sit in another chair!

[...] Helmut Lortz nailed it on the design of the AD. Someone needs to buy me this chair along with a Robin Day Form Unit Sofa. [...]

I have found one last week in Switzerland (?) and I’ve bought it ! The design is so simple and so clever I just love it.

Robin Day is amazing. Did anyone see the article in Dwell on Robin and his wife. Fantastic stuff.

Hmmm… I just bought a house and we do need a sofa. But somehow the blue part reminds me of the chair that our headmaster used to sit in. bad memories.

If you want this sofa, you had better spend the Day Robin banks!

Yea I could sleep on this couch all day and that orange square looks like a giant slab of cheddar cheese. I could nibble on that.

Need a sanity check. This is who I have heard referred to as the British Charles Eames, right? Does have an early HMI vibe. Let’s agree to agree this would be called a fainting couch.
