The Utility Armchair enhances the signature elegance of the classic Windsor silhouette with thoughtful, ergonomic details to create a comfortable, classic armchair that is both beautiful and practical.
Designed by Lucian Ercolani in 1945, the iconic Utility Armchair is an appealing merger of industrialization and thoughtful, emphatic design, imparting an innate sense of comfort and practicality that is both seen and felt.
Meticulously crafted and honed to minimalistic perfection, the Utility Armchair boasts a classic Windsor backrest with six, finely-carved spindles and supportive arm rests. A smooth, steam-bent ash bow encases the spindle structure, creating an elegant, sweeping arc that unites the chair’s design elements in a simple, harmonious curve.
