Designed by Lucian Ercolani in 1956, the Studio Daybed is a charming and practical addition to the 21st century home.
Combining the warm allure of natural ash with the soothing tactility of foam upholstery, the Studio Daybed is a standout piece from L. Ercolani’s early design portfolio. Equal parts beautiful and functional, the versatile Studio Daybed features traditional spindle details and a simple, ergonomic backrest fashioned from a singular piece of carved wood. An arched, steam-bent ash rod stabilizes the armrests and webbing adds strength and support to the settee’s frame.
With soft, rounded edges and gently tapered feet, the Studio Daybed imbues its environment with a sense of comfort and calm — allowing for restful moments of relaxation, kinship and contemplation. Whether shared with family or friends, the Studio Daybed is sure to enhance and elevate the moment with its tactual and interactive form.

The Maker /
Ercol
Ercol was founded in England in 1920 by a young Italian, Lucian Ercolani. His simple goal was to make furniture that was well designed and made in a good working environment by craftsmen who took real pride in their jobs.
Today, Ercol remains a family owned company committed to protecting and sharing its highly celebrated legacy. This is achieved through a time-honoured commitment to innovation in manufacturing and design.
The Designer /
Lucian Ercolani
The son of an Italian picture frame maker at the world-renowned Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Lucian Ercolani moved with his family from Tuscany to London in the 1890s. After earning his credentials as a furniture designer, Lucian went on to launch his own company in 1920, which later became known as Ercol.
