Design Classic Spotted by Canal

Castlefield, Manchester.



















Robin Day's Polyside, polypropylene chair.

One of the best known, mass-produced chairs of all time and seen everywhere from school classrooms to design museums, and due to its indestructibility anywhere else it was chosen to be discarded. Developed in 1962 by designer Robin Day the chair went on to be a design classic selling over 14 million world wide, indeed it is still made at a rate of 500,00 a year by Hille.
