Rendered in beautiful solid ash, the Butterfly Chair mirrors the form of the eponymous butterfly, defined by its wing-shaped back and curved seat. The seat has been shaped to mirror the contours of the body, allowing the sitter to relax in comfort.
Produced by the exceptionally talented artisans at L.Ercolani, the chair features traditional joinery techniques, giving it unmatched strength and endurance.
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.
