The Ernest Race Roebuck Chair was originally designed as a low-cost, stacking alternative to the Antelope for café and dining venues.
A mark of its success is that it was originally manufactured right up until 1968, the only variation being a change from spherical feet to molded plastic ferrules. Now re-issued in the original style with spherical feet, the chair is available in a wide choice of wood veneer and paint finishes. It has proved extremely popular in restaurants and hospitality areas where it provides a simple retro look.
