Cowhorn Chair

The Ercol Cowhorn Chair is a true British mid-century design classic, created by Lucian Ercolani in the 1950s for the renowned furniture maker Ercol.

Named for its distinctive curved armrests that resemble a pair of horns, the chair combines sculptural elegance with everyday comfort. Crafted from solid elm and beech, the design features a spindle back, gently splayed legs, and smooth organic curves that highlight Ercol’s mastery of steam-bending techniques. Originally produced as both dining and occasional chairs, the Cowhorn has become one of Ercol’s most iconic pieces. Today, vintage Ercol examples are highly collectible, admired for their craftsmanship, durability, and timeless mid-century style.
