A Day to Remember (2019)

Case Furniture and The Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation

Beatrice Larkin was selected as one of fifteen leading designers from the world of textile design to be invited to pay tribute to one of Britain’s greatest designers, by customising Robin Day’s iconic 675 chair.

Initiated by Case Furniture, in partnership with Heal’s and the Robin + Lucienne Day Foundation, the project, entitled ‘A Day to Remember’, supported young British designers by contributing to the educational work of the Foundation with funds generated by an exhibition and auction held at Heals Flagship store on Tottenham Court Road in August 2019.

Beatrice’s fabric was one of her initial Jacquard weaves, woven during her time at The RCA using a slub yarn and a large scale undulating twill pattern, creating an optical and textured effect. 

The other invited designers were: Eleanor Pritchard, Donna Wilson, Charlene Mullen, Cristian Zuzunaga, Wallace & Sewell, Eley Kishimoto, Hannah Waldron, Beatrice Larkin, Catherine MacGruer, Darkroom, Bill Amberg, Stitch by Stitch, David Irwin and Christopher Farr.
