An entire generation of Brits grew up during the postwar years with this beloved design and now L. Ercolani has reissued the iconic Originals Studio Couch in updated colors and in upholstery offerings by maverick textile-wallpaper house Timorous Beasties. The Studio Couch launched in 1956, a dual-purpose space-saving choice that doubled as a settee and, should a guest grow drowsy, as a bed. (Advertisements from the time even show it made up with bed sheets.) Part of the Originals range, identified by both its sturdy and timeless lines and the combination of woods. Finely grained elm is used for the broad back panel; steam-bent beech fashions the graceful curves of the frame, with tapered spindles and arched arm rests. With cushions that can be covered in a nearly endless selection of fabrics, the couch's inherent lightness and clean lines fit any room imaginable. The furniture introduced by the company's founder, Lucian Ercolani, during the mid-20th century, made the company's name and earned him an OBE from the crown for his achievements, signaling quite a journey for the Italian immigrant, who originally moved to the UK when he was just 10 in 1898.
