Robin Day | Interplan Cabinet M | 1954
Interplan Cabinet M by Robin Day for Hilleplan.
Designed by Robin Day, Interplan was an extensive range of storage units designed around a standard module size. With fourteen modules available at the time, the range offered a new level of flexibility for users.
Launched at the Milan Triennale in 1954, the design was well-received for its timeless and restrained design. Available with either rosewood or ash veneered fronts that sat flush with the solid mahogany case. Using brass handles and an austere modernist outline, the flat-fronted cabinets proposed a contemporary aesthetic for storage.
Unit M is the largest design of the series and offers a complete storage function with drawers, doors and internal shelves. The rosewood veneered doors with brass pulls were selected to compliment the solid mahogany body of the cabinet.
Robin Day is Britain’s most renowned furniture designer of the 20th Century era. Having won the Museum of Modern Art’s prestigious Low-Cost Furniture Competition in 1948, he went on to design an exceptional and respected cross-section of furniture in a career spanning more than 60 years.
An acute understanding of materials and manufacturing processes, aligned with progressive design skills led to numerous landmarks in the history of furniture design. His polypropylene seating is acknowledged as the world’s best-selling chair.
Robin Day’s achievements are not restricted to furniture and his industrial designs, exhibitions, graphics and interiors are highly respected for individual flair and modernist sensibilities.
Alongside his wife, textile designer Lucienne Day, the couple are revered and acknowledged for introducing contemporary design to Britain.
