The Sylva bedside cabinet combines practical design with a smooth tactile finish. Featuring a single drawer and a functional galleried top, offering both storage and security for everyday items. Its minimalist aesthetic brings a sense of calm and considered simplicity to the bedroom.

Produced in batches by students at Sylva Wood School, students gained valuable experience in professional practice and the standards of quality craftsmanship.

"The Sylva bedside cabinet for Ercol was one of my favourite pieces to work on, made from (Grown in Britain) Ash, it’s a stunning design. The process enabled me to bring together multiple techniques and skills I had developed throughout the course." Nicola, Sylva Foundation Professional Student

Our designs might have changed but the quality remains. ercol, since 1920.

The Windsor chair has evolved over time, but only where it needed to. Proportions have shifted subtly, ergonomics refined, and dimensions adjusted to suit the way we live today, small changes that make a familiar form feel just right.

What has not changed is how it is made. Steam bending continues to shape the curves, timber is still selected with care, and each chair is assembled by hand. CNC technology now supports the process, bringing precision where it is useful, but never replacing the skill, judgement and touch of the maker.

A considered purchase

Our products are not, in general, impulse buys. Our customers recognise and appreciate the time, skill and care that goes into every part of the design and making process and are prepared, as we are, to invest in them. They also understand that our products are immune to the whims of fashion: their timeless looks and lasting integrity means they can be used, enjoyed and admired for decades.

Buying ercol may not always be a quick decision. But it is always a wise one.

ercol is best known for its wood furniture, and for chairs in particular, but the same design intent runs through our upholstery.

The Sandford sofa reflects that approach. Scroll arms and gently curved legs bring a sense of refinement, while the solid ash frame provides a clear connection to our heritage in timber furniture.

Available in both static and motion options - the motion version offers a smooth, integrated footrest with a discreet USB-C port, while maintaining the same considered design and attention to detail throughout.

Available in a wide choice of fabrics from the Casa and Universal collections.

Tradition and Technology in harmony.

In our factory, traditional craft and modern technology work side by side.

Machines such as the Pro Evolution and the Ares allow us to shape complex components with precision, often completing in a single process what once required multiple stages . They bring consistency, efficiency and the ability to work with increasingly intricate forms.

But technology is only part of the story. It supports the maker, rather than replacing them. Skilled hands still guide the process, making decisions, refining details and ensuring each piece meets the standards we are known for.

It is this balance, between innovation and experience, that allows us to continue making furniture with both accuracy and care.

We’re delighted to be continuing our partnership with environmental charity, The Sylva Foundation, again this year. Together we will promote the craft, skills and woodland management practices to enable us to make more furniture from timber grown here in Britain for the future.
The collection has been crafted by nine students who completed the six-month professional training course at The Sylva Foundation. Working collaboratively, each student played a part in bringing these pieces to life, applying the skills and techniques developed throughout the course to create furniture that reflects both careful craftsmanship and considered design.

Colour shifts with the seasons.

As spring arrives, light lingers a little longer and spaces begin to feel brighter. Tones lift, palettes soften or become more expressive, and rooms take on a renewed sense of energy.

Furniture can follow that lead. Through upholstery, colour becomes something you can shape, whether choosing muted, grounding tones or something more confident and bold.

The Aldbury chair offers that choice, with a range of fabrics that allow colour to settle gently into a space, or stand out with quiet intention.
