This chair, designed by Ernest Race, was included in the 1946 London exhibition, "Britain Can Make It." The exhibition explored ways to convert wartime production technology to peacetime purposes. Race’s chair, made from aluminum resmelted from wartime materials, was designed to help maintain aluminum levels once the war was over. The frame is die-cast using a technique developed for incendiary bomb casings.
