Founded by Italian-born furniture maker, Lucian Ercolani, the company rose to prominence in post-war Britain, marking a seminal chapter in mid-century design history. Ercolani established his business in the heart of High Wycombe, a traditional furniture-making hub located in the Chiltern Hills of Buckinghamshire.

It was there that the young designer first successfully industrialized the production of the Windsor chair, displaying a level of mechanical precision and ingenuity that was unheard of for its time. This innovative method of mass production, coupled with the innate purity and clean, architectural integrity of Ercolani’s designs, helped propel the company to nationwide success in the late 1940s.

“Today, Lucian Ercolani is fondly remembered for both his craft and his compelling personality — a magnetizing presence that imbues his formative designs with warmth and precision.”

The lasting relevance of his designs in contemporary society further cultivates his eminence as a visionary figure within the world of mid-century modernism. Presently, L.Ercolani strives to uphold the enduring legacy of our founder by celebrating the timeless and sensory appeal of classic mid-century design.

But what defines real craftsmanship? In Ercol’s case, a century of tradition and knowledge passed down from members of the Ercol family into the present. An enduring imprint of genuine artistry, devotion to quality and an intrinsic understanding of wood acquired from decades of studying the material’s aesthetic and structural qualities.
