The All-Purpose Chair is the ultimate testament to the enduring appeal of timeless, multi-functional design. An original 1950’s design from company founder, Lucian Ercolani, the All-Purpose Chair has become a contemporary classic for both the home and workplace.
True to its name, the All-Purpose Chair’s noble, unadorned appearance allows it to seamlessly blend into a wide array of environments and interiors — subtly enhancing its surroundings with a resounding sense of harmony, comfort and alignment. Favoured for both its versatility and practicality, the All-Purpose Chair features an ergonomic seat design, gently sculpted to complement the body’s contours and ensure users’ continued comfort.
The precise, minimal form of the All-Purpose Chair pays tribute to the meticulous craftsmanship and structural sensibility that Lucian Ercolani built his legacy on. Today, the All-Purpose Chair is built in L. Ercolani’s furniture factory in the woodlands of Buckinghamshire, honouring standards of craftsmanship, quality and sustainability that are over 100 years in the making.
