Revived in 2000 after a two-decade halt in production, the Butterfly Chair remains as relevant today as it was when it first launched it in postwar London in 1956. Its seductive curves suggest an old world sensibility of the chair's Florence-born designer Lucian Randolph Ercolani, coupled with the modernist mission of the British furniture factory he founded after he relocated to Britain in 1920 and which christened Ercol. Ercolani's development of a singular technique of steam-bending wood into curves without warping allows for the chair's enduringly graceful lines. We love its comfort and its versatility for a variety of uses.
