The Foundation is run by a Board of Trustees chaired by Paula Day. Professor Sir Christopher Frayling and Fiona MacCarthy OBE are Patrons. HistoryRobin Day (1915 - 2010) and Lucienne Day (1917 - 2010) hold a unique place in 20th century design history. For nearly seven decades they pursued independent careers alongside each other, both making outstanding contributions to British design.[3]A memorial evening to celebrate their lives and achievements was held in October 2011 at The Royal College of Art, London. At the end of the evening Robin and Lucienne's daughter Paula Day announced her intention to found a Trust in her parents’ names.[4] The Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation was set up in February 2012 and was registered as an Arts and Education Charity (no. 1147979) in July of that year. The design contents of Robin and Lucienne Day’s Chichester home were donated to a number of national museums and educational institutions, and the house itself was sold to benefit the Foundation in September 2013.[5] The Foundation’s website went live on May 1st 2014. The official launch of The Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation took place at The Royal College of Art, London on May 6th 2015.[6] The venue was chosen because Robin and Lucienne had both studied at the RCA and met at a dance there in 1940. The launch marked the start of a season of Robin Day Centenary celebrations. Objectives and OrganisationThe Foundation's Objectives are:
