What truly separates Ercol apart from other British manufacturers is their strive to not be pigeonholed into one category. Ercol are designers of bedroom furniture, dining furniture, sofas, and armchairs. No two of their collections are the same; each design offers versatility and choice. Some of Ercol’s designs are heavily influenced by mid-century style, whilst others fuse traditional elements with contemporary influences. Many of Ercol’s collections have been created by world-renowned designers and are crafted all over the world. Here is a dive into Ercol Furniture and our favourite collections.

Ercol’s History

Established by Italian designer Lucian R. Ercolani in 1920, Ercol’s journey starts in High Wycombe. The family-owned Ercol furniture has been producing furniture from its talented in-house design team and furniture technicians for more than 100 years. Since 2002, Ercol’s 16,000 square meter factory has been based in Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire. Also based at the factory is Ercol’s design studio, winner of a number of awards for its architectural design.

Windsor Collection

Despite having been initially designed in the 1950s, the Windsor collection is set apart from the ever-changing trends of modern life and remains a timeless collection that’s made using traditional crafting techniques but has evolved to keep up with the modern homeowner. Made in solid ash, the Windsor collection is available in eight finishes to allow you to truly personalise this collection to your liking. With over thirty pieces available, the Windsor has really stood the test of time.

Cosenza Collection

Inspired by mid-century style, the Cosenza collection is unmistakeably Ercol.  With elegantly shaped solid-oak legs and deep cushioning, the Cosenza was developed in the Ercol Design Studio and crafted in Poland. Customisable in over 50 fabrics and leathers, the timeless Cosenza holds the authentic Ercol charm.

Rimini Collection

Perhaps the most striking element of Ercol’s Rimini bedroom collection is its chamfered, inset drawers and headboard, with the lack of sharp edges creating a cohesive, flowing feeling that’s conducive to a relaxing environment. Constructed of a blend of solid oak and oak veneers, the Rimini is crafted in a contemporary clear matt finish.
