Race Furniture in Milan

Ernest Race was an extremely important figure in British post-war design, and played an enormous part in the development of contemporary designs of furniture and use of materials until his untimely death in his fifties.

With a background starting in interior design, his intelligent use of materials and often whimsical form has left a legacy of classic British furniture designs.

These are now exhibited in many museums and galleries worldwide, and are avidly collected by an increasing number of cognoscenti of modern furniture.

Race Supplies Wooden Stacking Chairs to Horsley Church

Over recent years it has become increasingly popular for Church spaces to be used as flexible community spaces. As such the traditional church pew has been replaced by the stacking chair so that the nave can be cleared into an open space for group activities.

Here at Race we are able to work with all church facility stakeholders, including community groups, church parishes and architect in ensuring that the specification of the stacking chair meet  functional, comfort  and aesthetic requirements of the venue. 

At Horsley church it was felt that a beech wooden seat and backrest would be the most appropriate finish to compliment this historical interior. Race worked with both the church architect and the church parish council over a 6 month period in developing the specification supplying a selection of sample stacking chairs that could be evaluated by the committee. The Stanway 3 wooden stacking chair is available in a wide range of timber veneered finished including Ash, Oak and beech. The chrome finish can either be brushed or polished. We are able to supply accessories such as a chair linking , prayer book holders and labelling. An armchair version is also available.

All of Race’s stacking chairs are manufactured in the UK in our factory here in Gloucestershire and come with a 5 year warranty.
