The Windsor 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 Windsor 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 Windsor 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.

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.
