In collaboration with the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation, Case Furniture has reissued this celebrated collection. The revival stays true to Day’s original vision with careful attention to design drawings and original production models. Key features, such as the exact seat angle and full-width timber plank casing, have been faithfully recreated.
Further elevating the Forum collection, subtle updates enhance the collection’s durability and comfort, blending heritage with modern living. Solid walnut now replaces the tropical hardwoods originally used in the 1960s, Dacron-wrapped foam cushions offer superior support, while a reinforced steel subframe adds structural strength to ensure longevity.
The result is a collection that seamlessly merges past and present, offering a sophisticated, enduring addition to any interior. Whether as a statement piece or part of a cohesive design scheme, the Forum sofa and armchair exude timeless character and craftsmanship, making them an investment in both form and function.
Designed by Robin Day
Robin Day was a pioneering force in 20th-century British design. Known for introducing materials like plywood, steel, and plastic into modern furniture, Day championed the idea of durable design for everyday living. His work combined technological innovation with a deep commitment to comfort and longevity, reflecting his belief in design’s ability to improve lives. The Forum Collection embodies these principles, marrying enduring style with thoughtful functionality.
Signature mid-century design
Robin Day’s Forum design boldly defied convention by celebrating, rather than concealing, the sofa’s timber frame. Instead of hiding it beneath upholstery, Day placed the solid wood frame on the outside, showcasing its handsome finger joint detailing. Chrome-plated legs are mounted externally, highlighting the structure’s architectural beauty. This visible construction isn’t just a feature—it’s the Forum’s unmistakable signature, blending form and function with timeless sophistication.
A harmonious blend of walnut, black leather, and chrome
The Forum Collection is a masterclass in material interplay, combining rich textures and sleek finishes for a striking visual impact. The warmth of the solid walnut contrasts beautifully with the supple black leather upholstery, while chrome-plated legs add a touch of modern sophistication. This thoughtful combination of materials not only highlights the Forum’s distinctive design but also enhances its tactile appeal, making it a standout piece in any refined interior.
Modern enhancements for enhanced comfort and durability
While the Forum stays true to Robin Day’s original design, Case has incorporated thoughtful modern updates to elevate its comfort and longevity. Dacron-wrapped foam cushions provide superior support and maintain their structure over time, while a reinforced steel subframe ensures strength without compromising the design’s elegance. Solid walnut replaces the tropical hardwood veneers of the 1960s, offering a high-quality finish that honours the original aesthetic with a contemporary touch.
