Originals Windsor Dining Armchair

Description

With its armrests for added comfort, Lucian Ercolani’s contemporary adaptation of a traditional Windsor dining chair cuts a familiar silhouette. First adapted for production in 1943, his Dining Armchair remains fresh and relevant in Ercol’s legacy Originals lineup today. Elegantly simple, the chair bow is steam bent from a single straight ash rail in a splendid arc holding the classic back spindles. Traditional wedge joinery affixes the chair legs to the saddle seat, the leg stumps hand-sanded and flush with the seat for a sturdy union, with additional strength provided by the H-underframe.

Brand

L. Ercolani

Marking the 100-year anniversary of Ercol in 2020, the company reorganized under the moniker of its founder Lucian Ercolani as a premium brand that embodies the classic collection he pioneered as well as new works from an international slate of designers like Norm Architects, Jonas Wagell, and Lars Beller Fjetland. Under Edward Tadros, current chairman and grandson of “the old man” as Lucien is fondly remembered, the legacy of well-built furniture continues at its headquarters in the English countryside village of Princes Risborough

Best known for the iconic midcentury Originals that are still produced today, Ercolani developed a contemporary version of handmade British furniture initially inspired by classic Windsor styles. After surviving the Great Depression, two world wars, several recessions, and global competition, the company moves robustly into a new century buttressed by its uncompromising values and unstinting craftsmanship.
