The ultimate, indulgent seat for one, Ercol’s model 317 ‘Grandfather’ tub armchair is a design classic, originating in 1955 and made through to 1995, such was its enduring popularity. With a large, fanning back, low seat and wide, welcoming arms, there’s room to curl up. It has generous, over-sized proportions for gentle, enveloping relaxation. As you would expect from Ercol, it’s an expertly constructed piece with many of signature features from the bentwood back to the multiple spindles to the upturned, curved arms to the comfort. As is the way with timeless design, it would look as at home in a mixed-style interior as it would a midcentury-inspired house to a traditional country cottage. This particular chair has the most wonderful grain across its elm seat.
