Ercol was founded by Italian Lucian Ercolani, whose simple goal was to create well-designed, quality furniture made with pride by trained craftsmen. In 1920, he perfected the technique of steam-bending wood, creating the distinctive curved styling seen in many Ercol pieces today. A family company to this day, and based in the beautiful Chiltern hills in Buckinghamshire, Ercol continues to value innovation, design and craftsmanship.
