Founded by acclaimed British designer Ernest Race, Race Furniture has been at the forefront of the design and manufacture of seating for public spaces for over 70 years. Our bespoke service has resulted in expertly crafted seating installations in national theatres, opera houses, concert halls, lecture theatres, conference centres, schools and transport terminals across the world. Our Public Area Seating range provides seating solutions for airport terminals, railway stations, bus stations, shopping malls, ferry terminals and other public waiting areas.

Race Furniture has been at the forefront of the design and manufacture of seating for public spaces since its formation by acclaimed British designer, Ernest Race. Founded in 1945, Race began furniture manufacturing under the government's utility scheme. The company was a pioneer in the manufacture of products from recycled materials and created furniture for post-war homes from limited resources. Although proud to still manufacture the classic furniture of our founder, Ernest Race, our main business is the creation of expertly crafted seating for theatres, concert halls, opera houses, lecture halls, airports and public waiting areas.
