Created in 1920 by Lucian Ercolani a Italian furniture maker and craftsman who moved to East London in 1898. Ercolani moved around the UK making friends and working alongside the founders of Parker Knoll and G Plan. Ercol’s efforts during the second world war included manufacturing tent pegs and contributing to the Utility Furniture scheme. In 1946 launched the Windsor Collection, inspired by traditional Windsor chairs, at the V&A's Britain Can Make it Festival which to this day is still one of Ercols most famous designs. Ten years later Ercol launched the Loveseat, Studio Couch, Butterfly Chair and the Stacking Chair each showcasing one of Ercols recognisable design features, spindle backs, bentwood arms and back, wedged-through-seat legs and light woods such as beech and elm. Ercolani was awarded an OBE for his services to UK design and manufacturing in 1964.
