A Brief History of Ercol Furniture
Ercol Furniture has a rich history that is deeply rooted in craftsmanship and design. Founded over a century ago in 1920 by Italian designer Lucian R Ercolani, Ercol quickly established itself as a timeless British brand². Ercolani's vision was to create relevant and honest furniture, with design and people being the cornerstones of his company from the very beginning².
The company was based in High Wycombe, the heart of English furniture making². Ercolani's commitment to quality craftsmanship and innovative design led to the creation of furniture that was both functional and aesthetically pleasing³. Ercol furniture is renowned for its clean lines, classic designs, and exceptional craftsmanship³.
During World War II, Ercol demonstrated its adaptability by shifting its focus to producing utility furniture for the war effort⁴. This period showcased the brand's commitment to quality craftsmanship even during challenging times⁴.
In 2002, the Ercol office, showroom, and factory moved to its current location in Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire². The new factory, which combines the latest technology with time-honoured craftsmanship, has won several awards for its architectural design and environmental features².
Today, Ercol continues to evolve its designs to reflect how we live today, collaborating with both in-house and external UK designers to create unique pieces². The legacy of Ercol Furniture lives on, offering a blend of tradition and modernity that is cherished by **Take Me Home** and its customers.
