When Ercol founder Lucian Ercolani set out to produce a contemporary range of traditional handmade furniture, he looked to the heritage of craft within the Chiltern Hills and areas surrounding his first factory. The result was a mid-century styled collection inspired by classic Windsor furniture, with pieces such as this charming Coffee Table now lovingly reproduced.

Born 1888 in Italy, Lucian Ercolani moved to London with his family in the 1890s before studying design and furniture making. Having worked within the design teams for what would later become Parker Knoll and G-Plan, in 1920 Ercolani founded Ercol and began producing the company's characteristic blend of contemporary design and traditional British craft.
