Ercol Ten year old Lucian Ercolani and his family moved from Tuscany to London in the late 1800s. He later graduated from Salvation Army schooling to attend night college, learning the furniture trade in Shoreditch. The young apprentice soon found work with Frederick Parker, a leading figure in British furniture and the founder of Parker Knoll, one of the largest furniture makers of the day. In 1920 Ercolani founded his own business called Ercol. As the designer, Lucian created timeless furniture designs celebrated for their soft, sculptural curves and ground-breaking use of bentwood. In 1964, Lucian was awarded an OBE (Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) for his notable contributions to British design and manufacturing. In 2010 Lucian was posthumously awarded the prestigious Design Guild Mark for his legacy of work. Ercolani helped popularise the break from the heavy, ornate pre-war styles towards a new clean lined, simple elegance.
