Lucian Ercolani information


Lucian Randolph Ercolani (born Luciano Randolfo Ercolani; [1]8 May 1888 – 9 June 1976),[2] was an Italian furniture designer born in St Angelo in Vado Marche Italy later emigrating to London, England with his family. He began his career in furniture manufacture with the Salvation Army joinery department, later joining Frederick Parker (later of Parker Knoll fame). In 1920, Ercolani had joined a furniture-making consortium in High Wycombe, trading as Furniture Industries. The business expanded through acquisition, and government orders during World War II for wooden tent pegs and bentwood chairs ensured its success. In the late-1940s, Ercolani developed his range of mass-produced Ercol furniture, which became a household name in post-war Britain, and which continues today.
