Description
Ercol Furniture in the Making is a comprehensive guide to the iconic Windsor Range, a coordinated collection of domestic furniture designed by Lucian Ercolani. First developed during the Second World War as part of the government's Utility Scheme, the Windsor Range was launched at the Festival of Britain in 1951 and went on to become a runaway success. The book showcases the range's enduring appeal, with its unique blend of modern technology and traditional craftsmanship. The Windsor Range is characterised by its use of solid wood, combining beech and elm in a distinctive way. The result is a harmonious and appealing style that has appealed to a wide audience, including design buffs, collectors, students, and anyone interested in interiors. The book is lavishly illustrated and attractively designed, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to learn more about this iconic furniture range. Published in 2020, Ercol Furniture in the Making is a revised edition of a book that has become a standard reference for anyone interested in the history and design of the Windsor Range.
