Although everyone at naughtone is sad that one of our true design heroes Robin Day has died, we think that Robin epitomises someone who has squeezed every last bit of fun and accomplishment out of his long life! Some of our design team have had the pleasure of working with Robin within the last 10 years and although at this point he was in his late 80's, Robin was still as passionate and meticulous as when he was self confessed 'obsessed' with seating at the start of his career. We will miss Robin who is undoubtedly one of Britain's most successful ever designers, but we're happy that his legacy and products (one of which I'm sitting on now) will live on.
