Yes, I confess that we do love Ercol furniture - and readily confess that most - but not all - of what we own wasn't bought new...These pictures show an item which seems of late to have become quite coveted. I don't believe it has been re-issued (and would be a frightening price if it was) although some of the early classic designs have been.
The wood frame is in Beech whilst the back is in a solid piece of Elm. The top photo shows the darker colour (what the company called 'traditional') whilst the bottom photo shows the couch frame in light colour wood. (we have dark Ercol items in one downstairs room and light Ercol in the other)The cost of new foam and covers is quite expensive, but still well worth buying. The bottom sofa actually has dusky pink covers - which are in the wash at the moment - being the trigger for me to decide to do the photographs.
Now... I shall say this very quietly... back in the early eighties we owned a light colour one... and although he kept the back, J eventually cut the frame up - big mistake!
We then had 2 brand new sofas - one being a rather expensive one from Marks and Spencers - but they just weren't suitable for a family with 2 people with disabilities.
These are lovely to lie on..Zzzzzzzz
Ercol has some great photos on Flickr
