Originals – Quaker Chair with Arms

+ Enlarge
Built to inspire comfort and connection, the Quaker Armchair is a time-honoured collector’s piece for all walks of life. A celebrated classic, the Quaker Armchair encapsulates the pared-back simplicity of Lucian Ercolani’s formative work, inspired by the purity of Windsor-style furniture. Equally well-received today as it was in 1945, the welcoming form of the Quaker Armchair has the power to elevate the atmosphere and occasion of everyday dining rituals.
Meticulously honed to minimalistic perfection, the Quaker Armchair boasts a classic Windsor backrest with six, finely-carved spindles and supportive armrests. Carved into a tall arc, a steam-bent ash bow encases the spindle structure, uniting the chair’s elements in a grand, sweeping 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.
