Designed by Robin Day and reissued by &Tradition, this sophisticated lounge-style seat brings together sculptural clarity, comfort, and material depth in a way that feels perfectly suited to contemporary interiors. Part of the world of Chairs and Easy chairs, it is conceived for indoor use and works beautifully in residential settings, executive spaces, and design-led hospitality projects. Its poised silhouette and generous seat make it an excellent choice for those seeking an upholstered Scandinavian armchair with character, or a mid century modern armchair capable of adding quiet authority to a room. Within the refined landscape of &Tradition furniture, this piece stands out for its balance of heritage, usability, and visual precision.
Engineered structure and carefully layered materials
This distinctive base gives the design the appeal of a black base lounge chair, while the back introduces warmth through layers of walnut and beech veneer that are form-pressed and cut to shape using CNC technology. The seat is made from layers of beech veneer bonded together and completed with upholstered foam, resulting in a composition that feels supportive, welcoming, and highly resolved. As a refined walnut veneer armchair and a well-proportioned RFH upholstered chair, it offers a compelling response to projects where craftsmanship and comfort must coexist seamlessly.
Textile depth for elevated interiors
Available in the two colours Hallingdal 103 and Hallingdal 227, the chair introduces tactile richness and tonal sophistication into a wide variety of schemes, from understated architectural settings to warmer, more layered interiors. Its combination of veneered shell, upholstered seat, and powder-coated frame makes it especially relevant for those searching for luxury upholstered seating, premium lounge seating, or a distinctive Nordic designer chair that can enrich both private and professional spaces. The expressive yet controlled character of the design also allows it to sit naturally alongside curated pieces from Verner Panton x &Tradition, creating interiors where iconic forms and material nuance are in constant dialogue.
A versatile Robin Day piece for hospitality and beyond
Its silhouette feels grounded yet inviting, making it a smart specification choice for designers in search of a contemporary hospitality chair with lasting relevance. It also pairs convincingly with the softer atmospheres associated with Jaime Hayon x &Tradition, proving how easily it can integrate into expressive as well as restrained interiors. For those looking for an &Tradition RFH RD7 armchair, a distinctive Robin Day RFH chair, or an authentic RFH armchair by &Tradition, this design offers a polished synthesis of innovation, comfort, and enduring Scandinavian-inspired style.
