Lara Chair

for L.Ercolani

A steam-bent back-rest and dished solid seat panel create a comfortable, hard-wearing stacking chair designed for both domestic and hospitality environments. Gentle curves and soft profiles give Lara a friendly tactility. Designed in 2017. Manufactured from solid ash in natural or black lacquer finish

Corso Tables + Benches

for Ercol

Corso balances softness and lightness with strength and durability. Designed for comfort in use and efficient production, components are reduced to what is essential.

The V-shaped leg assemblies have a machining and construction sequence which minimises material use and waste. Tables and benches come in two sizes. Tables disassemble for compact shipping/storage. Benches are also available with a fixed upholstered pad. Manufactured in solid ash or solid walnut

Mia Tables + Cabinets

for Ercol

The key detail on this simple oak range is a 20 degree chamfer that softens the edge of all Mia pieces. On cabinet doors and drawers the chamfer extends outwards to create smoothly flowing integrated handles. The outer curve of legs and uprights is mirrored on inner faces, creating an eye-shaped cross section. Shadow gaps and visible end-grain add to the crisply defined feel.

Heritage Seating

for Ercol

A new take on the archetypal Ercol two seater bench, plus a new armchair and loveseat using the design language of Lucian Ercolani's classic 333 chair from the 1950s. The collection is quiet and simple, allowing the pieces to sit comfortably in a wide range of domestic and hospitality settings. This family of new products and the reissued 333 chair were launched by Ercol in 2021. Manufactured in solid oak

The range is compact and economical, designed for simple CNC production. Common parts are rotated in orientation to keep components to a minimum. Drawers have an additional concealed finger-pull to allow two-handed opening. Manufactured in solid ash.
