PeaMclean - thank you yes thats the design of the sofa

what does everyone think??

It's called Robin Day???!!! Makes me think 1980s and big glasses...

Doesn't look especially comfy, but then i don't like leather sofas. Call me odd though.

leather is goood - wipeable IYKWIM

it's a design classic, won't date. although it's a bit architecty for me personally.

don't like leather sofas unless they're big and squishy or all worn in. That looks uncomfy and sterile. And I think you're right, it will date.

but does anyone think its a classic, in a retro kind of way?? or am i too tired to think straight?

hang on, just seen you said you wanted it in cream. That sounds a lot better

psychologically, cream would make it comfier for me!

how funny that cream would make a difference!

it is a design classic. designed by robin day etc etc. has been around for years.

I am very shallow

Not sure it would date but you would need a particular type of house, I think

dare i ask - who is robin day?? am i supposed to know?

Robin Day designed it?

some info on Robin Day and your sofa

and the writer agrees about the cream. The dark one is too architecty, as Aitch put it.

No - the wood on the side is the problem - too piney

habitat do nice ones in grey fabric that might be better?

Robin Day was a journalist on the telly. Newsy programmes in the 70s. Can't reemmber what exactly. Huuuuge glasses though.

Yeah, but this is a differnet one surely???

not keen on grey fabric - has to wipeable - have small kids - will drop food and vomit etc etc

I think it already looks dated.

lol, not that robin day.
