I always say the Robin Day polypropylene chair, you know, it was the first.
Yeah.
It was the most successful.
And it's the beautiful one, you know.
Yes.
The hilly stack.
The moulded plywood, that is the hilly stack.
The moulded plywood, yeah, the hilly stack.
Which was his first low-cost stacking chair.
Yeah, yeah.
Which was 1951.
I mean, he designed that the same year as all the furniture for the Royal Festival Hall, including the auditorium.
You know, that was his first major design for Hilly.
So he was also starting working with this new company, produced the Hilly stack table chair for them, and then other things for the Festival of Britain.
I mean, what a year, you know.
Incredible.
I mean, he said he was working seven days a week, practically 24 hours a day.
That went on till the mid-70s.
My mother then, I mean, she had other clients as well, but then in the mid-70s she changed direction.
She decided she wanted to stop industrial design and she created a new textile art form called silk mosaic.
