About Ercol
Founded in England in 1920 by Italian-born designer Lucian Ercolani, Ercol quickly became one of the most respected British furniture makers. Ercolani’s career saw collaborations with Parker Knoll and G Plan, wartime manufacturing for the Utility Furniture Scheme, and in 1946, the launch of the now-legendary Windsor Collection at the V&A’s Britain Can Make It Festival. Ercol’s designs — from the Loveseat to the Studio Couch and Butterfly Chair — are celebrated for their spindle backs, bentwood arms, wedged-through-seat legs, and use of light woods such as beech and elm. In recognition of his contributions to British design, Ercolani was awarded an OBE in 1964.
