      General note

      The Roo stacking chairs represent some of Lamb's work for Plydesigns where he served as an out-of-house consultant in the early 1970s. Lamb's love of curves and moulded plywood are evident in this strong and playful design. Produced in natural finish this example was repainted by the designer.
