Product Description
They were designed by the company's founder in the 1950s and reflect the start of the resurgence in confidence in the British furniture industry after the austerity of the post-war years.
When exhibiting at Tent, the UK's showcase of applied design, we wanted to both encapsulate ercol's ethos and heritage, but also reflect the company's constant design evolution. The result was the Originals, but in a new matt black finish, producing a strikingly original set of furniture.
This 1957 chair was cleverly designed to stack vertically. The original was widely used by meeting rooms and schools, before the dawn of the ubiquitous polypropylene chair. Now it forms an ideal chair for when you have extra visitors, whilst when not in use a stack of these chairs makes a dramatic display.
