Set of 4 Stackable Green Polo Chairs by Robin Day for Hille, 1980s
About the Item
Iconic, retro, stackable. Classic 20th century British Design.
The Polo chair was one of Robin Day's later iterations of the original moulded Polyside Chair, so ubiquitous with public institutions across the world. Designed around a decade later, it was considered the world's first indoor/outdoor chair due to the large playful drainage holes and UV-resistant colours. The lower back rest also lent itself better for use as banks of stadium seating. The chairs were originally produced in emerald, yellow, black and white, with a variety of different metal leg options and finishes.
The one-piece seat and back was injection moulded from polypropylene – a lightweight thermoplastic with high impact resistance – on tubular steel legs.
This original set of 4 were produced by Hille in 1984 with 4 leg white painted bases and have spent a good portion of their lifetime as outdoor chairs. We have lightly and sympathetically restored them, returning some of the original lustre to the green seats and stabilised the metal legs from further weathering.

- White Stackable Selene Chairs by Vico Magistretti for Artemide, PairBy Vico MagistrettiLocated in Edinburgh, ScotlandVico Magistretti’s Selene was one of the first commercially produced chairs pressed from a single sheet of plastic. The Selene was first conceived by Magistretti in 1961 but it took several years working alongside the technicians and model makers at Artemide to produce the first production model in 1969. It was the S shaped cross section that solved the issue with lateral strength of the legs for Magistretti. “ It cannot be drawn. To draw it I’d have to have drawn at least a hundred cross sections” The Artemide chair was made from a single sheet of 3mm thick Reglar, a new glass reinforced polyester (GRW). It was first shown in white at the 1968 Triennale di Milano. Production of the Selene started in 1969 with white, red and black models shortly followed in orange in 1970. In 1984 came a new inspired pallet of yellow, light blue and pink for the aesthetically radical Los Angeles Olympics. Artemide’s production of the chair ceased in the 1990s then Heller reissued nylon and polycarbonate (colour dependant) injection moulded versions in 2002. The 1960s saw an intense period of exploration in product design with many embracing the recent advances of Industrial plastics. Verner Panton, Joe Colombo, Helmut Batzner and Sergio Mazza were amongst those who had chairs utilising modern plastics in production by the late 60s. Helmut Batzner’s chair...Category
