Defined by a two-tiered structure, formed by a smooth, rounded tabletop and a spindled lower shelf, the elegant L.Ercolani Originals Coffee Table is both highly practical and stylish. With the lower tier allowing for the storage of books and magazines and the higher perfect for resting drinks and displaying decorative accessories, the contrasting surfaces create a subtle focal point in a room. Ideal for placing in front of a sofa or next to a set of lounge chairs, the organic shape and warming wood create an inviting, relaxing environment.
Lucian R Ercolani, or the "Old Man" as he is affectionately known in the company, founded Ercol in 1920. Born in Italy in 1888, Lucian's family moved to London in the 1890s. There he went to night school at the Shoreditch Technical Institute where he studied drawing, design and the theory and construction of furniture.
Between 1910 to 1920, The Old Man worked in the design teams for what would later become Parker Knoll and G-Plan, before founding Ercol in 1920.
