Speaking of sub culture and Tom Dixons Pylon Chair, join your local chapter of the Pylon Club and appreciate those towering sculptures. Secret handshakes? Buried treasure?

Race
Race or Milne would be my guess, but somebody else might know better ??
The second pic is also from the Festival of Britain, but the style seems to have lasted right through the 50s..they are similar to the US ones Riki posted, and my own ones- I may even get ball feet for mine when I refurb them 🙂
