Lara Chair
Designed in 2016 for the demands of hospitality, the Lara Chair by Ercol brings the brand’s century-honed woodworking to contemporary dining. Founded in 1920 by Lucian R Ercolani in High Wycombe, Ercol is celebrated for refined craftsmanship that balances utility and beauty. The Lara’s balanced, unassuming silhouette slips effortlessly into domestic and commercial settings and stacks neatly after service, maximizing space without compromising poise.
Its steam-bent backrest and subtle crafted details flow into a dished seat that offers reassuring comfort, keeping attention on food and company. Award-winning designer Dylan Freeth champions a people-and-production ethos, creating quiet, durable, engaging furniture. His Design Guild Mark recognition for work with Ercol underscores the technical clarity evident in Lara, suited to urban cafes, fine-dining restaurants and intimate bistros.
