The Utility Chair is defined by a stunning spindled backrest, encased in a smooth steamed bent Ash rail, creating a beautiful arched structure. With the legs of the chair connected right through the seat using a wedge joint technique, combined with a H-underframe for additional support and strength, the Windsor chair represents traditional woodworking and honest design at its finest. Stylish and supportive, enhance your dining space with the elegant L.Ercolani Utility Chair.
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.
