centenary cabinet

Design Lucian Ercolani, 1956
Solid ash wood
Made in the UK by L. Ercolani

First launched in 1962 the Centenary Cabinet was designed by L.Ercolani's founder, Lucian Ercolani, as part of the successful Windsor range. It is intrinsically L.Ercolani with purity of design, clean lines, dovetail joints, sculpted handles and turned legs all crafted from solid ash wood.
L.Ercolani was established in 1920 by 32-year-old trained furniture maker Lucian Ercolani. Lucian was awarded a Board of Trade Utility Furniture contract in 1944 for 100,000 Windsor Chairs, giving Ercolani his first opportunity to mass-produce his humble and timeless designs. During a trip to New York, the young Ercolani found himself drawn to the intrinsic simplicity of Shaker furniture. Years later, inspired by this event, Ercolani stripped the chair’s design to its simplest form, focusing on increasing durability and production efficiency. This commission would define a new design direction for the company, a shift that is still reflected in our ever-evolving portfolio of furniture design.
