Ercol Utility Chair – High Back
Image Gallery
+ Enlarge
A celebrated classic, the Utility High Back Chair 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 Utility High Back Chair has the power to elevate the atmosphere and occasion of everyday dining rituals.
Meticulously crafted and honed to minimalistic perfection, the Utility High Back Chair boasts a classic Windsor backrest with six, finely-carved spindles. Carved into a tall arc, a steam-bent ash bow encases the spindle structure, uniting the chair’s elements in a grand, sweeping curve.

Hammer-shaft joints and gently tapered, outturned legs provide a supple yet dependable profile — allowing the Utility High Back Chair's lithe form to shine through its honest build. Lastly, traditional wedge and tenon joinery combined with a supportive H-frame inserted underneath the Utility High Back Chair's saddle seat enhance the overall strength and durability of the chair’s construction.
