Description

A design that has truly stood the test of time, this 675 chair is the authentic licensed production of the original 1952 design, endorsed by the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation. The chair's most prominent feature is its curved walnut-veneered plywood back. Pioneering at the time, Robin Day overcame the difficulty of forming a single moulded plywood chair with armrests by creating a bent shape using a singular curve rather than a double curve. In close collaboration with the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation, Case has revised the dimensions of the chair, making the 2014 version slightly smaller and more compact - as it was originally designed to be. Finished with a walnut-veneered ply back, black powder-coated steel frame and black leather upholstered seat pad - in the words of Robin Day: ‘metal for strength and lightness... wood for touch and appearance.' The 675 is comfortable for long periods of use thanks to the large seat pad, and is equally at home in your office and dining space. Please note: not all our ranges are on display in our shops.

About John Lewis

Founded in 1864, John Lewis is a trusted and beloved brand where you can find a diverse range of furniture for every style and budget, alongside finding the perfect item that reflects your personal taste.

A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion

John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.

What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.

Adapting to Changing Times

Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.

Commitment to a Greater Purpose

John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
