Combining versatility with softness yet maintaining a degree of interior authority, the Bosco collection is known for its gliding timber curves and outstanding joinery, showcasing the talented craftsmanship that has gone into creating each piece.
A defining characteristic of the range is the curved finger joints that can be located on the corners of the cabinets and the table and chair legs. The visible joint detailing on the dining chairs helps to draw the eye, creating a sense of originality.
Catering to your comfort needs, the Ercol Enna collection offers both static and recliner options and has been designed with generous high backs.

Established in 1920, by Italian designer, Lucian R. Ercolani, Ercol was created following the desire for Lucian to create furniture pieces that were well-designed and made by passionate and talented craftsmen who took pride in their work.

From day one, Ercol has put a strong focus on maintaining exceptional craftsmanship throughout its products, using skilled artisans wherever possible. In addition, Ercol also uses traditional carpentry methods to create its products, ensuring that every item is built to last.
Quality is of the utmost importance to Ercol, which is why each material has been carefully selected in accordance with its durability and appearance.

Caring for your Ercol furniture is an essential step in preserving the quality and beauty of the product, specifically in any of Ercol’s wooden furniture pieces. To help you increase the longevity of your Ercol furniture we’ve shared some top tips on how to care and maintain your furniture pieces…
You want to begin by ensuring that you’re frequently dusting your wooden Ercol furniture with a dry, lint-free cloth. The reason for doing this is to help avoid the build-up of any dust, dirt, pollen or bacteria, as this can end up sinking into the surface of the furniture.
For upholstered furniture, you can remove any dust by gently vacuuming the furniture or using a soft brush to sweep over the area, it’s recommended that you do this once a week.
Exposure to direct sunlight can cause wooden furniture items to fade or even turn the colouring uneven. The same also applies to fabric furniture, therefore, you want to ensure that you’re keeping any items out of direct sunlight or away from a heat source.
Any accidental spills or stains should be mopped up as swiftly as possible to avoid the chance of the stain or mark sinking into the surface of the wood or fabric. However, in the case of mud, the mark should be left until the mud is fully dried and then brushed off.
When it comes to Ercol dining tables and coffee tables, you should always use placemats and coasters to help protect the surface from any moisture, stains or heat damage. This is particularly important in the case of glass tables, as placing extremely hot or cold items directly onto the surface without thick placemats may cause the glass to crack.
Some of Ercol’s wooden furniture can be very heavy, therefore, you should be extremely cautious when moving or transporting any items. Never decide to slide or drag any of the furniture, as this can not only damage the item but potentially mark your floors or nearby walls. Instead, you should always lift the furniture - only if it’s within a safe weight limit!

For over a century, Ercol has been designing and manufacturing its furniture from Buckinghamshire in England. Every range has been created and developed by its in-house design team that are based in Princes Risborough, a small market town located in Buckinghamshire.
However, Ercol does operate on a global basis with manufacturing partners located around the world, all of which are upheld to Ercol’s design principles and specifications.
All of Ercol’s furniture comes finished with a coat of clear lacquer in order to protect the furniture from day-to-day use. However, on specific ranges, mostly those made from ash, Ercol offers customers the opportunity to choose an alternative stain or paint finish, meaning you can tailor the product colouring to suit your space.
Before you buy any piece of furniture, regardless if it’s from Ercol, you need to ensure that the furniture fits comfortably in your home. This includes measuring any doorways that the furniture may need to be carried through.
