The new version offers the same three tones as the original color of the chair-light gray, charcoal and orange-the new version aims to restore the "freshness and authority" that the chair had when it was first introduced in the 1960s.

The Polyside chair has a plastic seat with its rolling edges fixed to the frame, which is a restoration of Day's original P5 stack frame-previously removed from the design in the 1980s.

The inclined front and rear legs are respectively composed of curved metal rods and are connected together by a single weld on each side of the chair. The armchair has a slightly wider, more bucket-shaped seat, resting on a rectangular metal base.

“Working with the Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation to bring this classic design back to its former glory is a challenge and a learning experience,” said Brian Foster, managing director.
