Kangaroo Rocking Chair

Ernest Race was a British furniture designer and manufacturer whose postwar work established modernist design within reach of the middle class. Working in steel tube, plywood, and innovative industrial materials, he created stackable chairs and modular seating that prioritized function and affordability without sacrificing formal clarity. Race's designs for public and domestic interiors helped define the aesthetic of 1950s Britain, balancing Continental modernism with practicality.
