Crafted from ash wood, the elegant Drop Leaf dining table from Lucian R Ercolani is fitting for interior styles both classic and contemporary due to its minimalist, subtle design. Able to be fixed into three different positions, the rounded tabletop creates a connected dining experience. The dropped leaves allow for the table to adjust to different-sized spaces and numbers of diners. Adaptable and versatile, the Drop Leaf table is ideally suited to a wide variety of different spaces.
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.
