Ernest Race was a notable British industrial designer known for his innovative furniture designs in the mid-20th century. Born in 1913, Race made significant contributions to the world of furniture design, particularly through his work with the company he co-founded, Race Furniture, in 1945. One of his most iconic designs is the Antelope Chair, which showcases his distinctive style and ingenuity.

The Antelope Chair, designed in 1951 for the Festival of Britain, is a prime example of Race's ability to blend modern aesthetics with functional design. The chair features a metal frame and a molded plywood seat, reflecting the post-war era's emphasis on new materials and manufacturing techniques. Its playful, almost whimsical form, with splayed legs and an airy structure, embodies the optimistic spirit of the time. The Antelope Chair became a symbol of British modernism and received critical acclaim for its innovative use of materials and elegant design.

Ernest Race's work, including the Antelope Chair, remains influential in the field of design. His pieces are celebrated for their combination of practicality, comfort, and stylish minimalism, continuing to inspire designers and collectors around the world. Race's contribution to industrial design was significant, and his legacy lives on through his timeless creations.
