First launched in 1956, the Stacking Chair embraces the mid-century modern ideals of function and form with its humble, linear construction. The chair’s intentional, detail-oriented architecture reflects L. Ercolani’s long-standing commitment to utility — providing a simple yet gracious seat that effortlessly lends itself to any number of occasions and settings.

Purpose-built for convenience, the outward-facing legs of the Stacking Chair allow the chairs to be stacked vertically when not in use. This, coupled with the chair’s ergonomic design, make the chair a versatile offering that complements urban workspaces, intimate dining environments and private residences alike.

Additionally, the Stacking Chair features traditional woodworking elements, including the iconic Windsor wedge and tenon joint — a trademark detail found in many of Lucian Ercolani’s early works. In this classic technique, the chair’s legs are extended through the seat and secured with a wedge. These joints are then sanded until they lie flush with the seat to create an incredibly durable, reinforced base, built to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use.
