Originals – Butterfly Chair
A modern classic since 1956, the Butterfly Chair distills Lucian Ercolani’s vision for Ercol into a dining silhouette of serene clarity. Steam bent back and seat form a graceful winged profile, balancing sculptural refinement with the ease of an everyday chair. Created by Ercol’s founder, Ercolani, it channels mid century British design at its most poised.
A purposeful study in simplicity, it relies on traditional Windsor wedge and tenon joinery, with legs that pass through the seat and are locked by a wedge for enduring strength. Available with an upholstered seat and shaped to hug the body’s natural contours, the Butterfly Chair invites relaxed dining while preserving the crisp, crafted purity that defines Ercol.

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.
