Who We Are

Hi there!

We are Race Furniture, a team of innovators and creators.

We've been crafting iconic seating and transforming prestigious spaces since 1945.

What Makes Us Unique?

When you work with Race you are working with THE experts in seating!

A team of highly innovative, creative and skilled craftspeople.

We use imagination and expertise to craft completely bespoke seats for every project we do.

Everything created in-house from our office and factory in the Cotswolds.

We have total control over every aspect of your seating project – from design and manufacture to installation.

Completely unique seating.

We never produce the same seat! Sure, we have a range of product models but these are purely to stoke the flames of your imagination. Really, everything we do is bespoke as every seat we create is the first one of its kind.

A rich heritage, deep rooted in iconic British design.

Our philosophy and reason for being is founded on the design and engineering ingenuity of Ernest Race and Noel Jordan.
