■ "ercol" Lesley Jackson and Margaret Howell

Ercol is a long-established British furniture manufacturer founded in 1920 that continues to be beloved today. Even during the mid-century, its artisans continued to pursue simple, sturdy, and rustic forms without being swept away by the trends of the times.

This book is a must-read for fans, featuring not only Ercol furniture, but also numerous images of the workshop at the time of the company's founding, advertisements, catalogs, and more. The foreword is by Margaret Howell, an avid fan of the company. It is a book that allows you to enjoy the timeless, universally beautiful form.
