In 1920 a young designer called Lucian Ercolani started his own business in High Wycombe, the chairmaking capital of England. Here he perfected the technique of steam-bending wood in large quantities to form the famous Windsor Bow, and discovered how to 'tame' elm; a beautifully grained hardwood other furniture makers considered impossible to work with.
Design and people were the cornerstones of his company. This remains true of the family owned private company that continues his beliefs in the 21st century.
Their passion for innovation in design and manufacturing is as strong today as it was then. The Ercol factory combines the very latest technology with time-honoured craftsmanship to create a range of unique pieces.
Ercol furniture is a high quality product, designed to provide years of service before needing replacing, thus helping reduce waste. Ercol upholstery can be recovered, when you are in the mood for a change, or when the existing covers have worn out – see the reCover section of the ercol website, extending its life and minimising waste. Ercol solid wood furniture looks great even after the knocks and bangs of daily life, and can often be repaired in the event of more significant damage.
