What to expect from a vintage Ercol sofa
The Ercol Studio Couch was one of the very first Ercol sofas to be designed and produced. An elegant, low-set three-seater with outward splayed spindle arms and a solid wood back, the piece is quintessentially Ercol. A classic design piece, vintage versions of this sofa have recently become a go-to quality ‘blank canvas’ on which people express their individual preferences for colour and pattern. Also sometimes known as the Ercol daybed this sofa is informal and easy to incorporate into almost any living or sleeping space. Removable cushions can be easily recovered to blend in, or stand out, in your interior.
What is an Ercol Windsor Sofa?
One of the best-known ranges is the Ercol armchair the Windsor, and, true to form, the designer created a number of sofas in the Windsor style. Spindle backs, often in very blonde woods, those characteristic tapered and splayed legs and a webbed seat are the Ercol Windsor sofa’s defining features. Windsor sofas are available as two and three-seaters and they’re very versatile. The shape is classic enough to be dressed down for a cosy, country-style living room, with comfortable, neutral colours and re-sanded natural wood. Meanwhile, other renovators have revamped the Windsor for drama with colour, texture and pattern putting the piece firmly centre-stage in your space. Examples of all kinds can be found right here at Vinterior.
What are the benefits of an Ercol daybed or sofa?
A piece of furniture from a different era, lovingly cared for over the generations or brought back to life at the hands of a skilled upholsterer, wood restorer or artist, has the power to add an extra layer of character to any home. While all too many houses in the UK today feature the same furniture from the same high-street chains, why not take a more unique and innovative approach by looking to curate the very best items from across the ages and bring them together to create a room that has both a rich history and a vibrant, characterful present. An Ercol daybed adds instand character to a mid-century leaning drawing room while the Ercol Windsor sofa makes a fabulous addition to a kitchen banquette or table, adding an element of whimsical charm.
