ABOUT THE DESIGNER: The original chair was Designed by Lucian Ercolani for Ercol, 1957 with Beech, Elm veneered plywood. Lucian Ercolani, founder of Ercol, immigrated to London from Florence in 1894 and established the company in 1928. Inspired by traditional Windsor chairs, he modernized their design for mass production, using beech and elm for their simplicity and durability. In the mid-1950s, Ercolani created the Butterfly chair, known as the ‘401 Preformed Chair,’ blending molded elm plywood with a traditional Windsor-style base and steam-bent back.
