Designed by Lucian Ercolani, the Studio Couch was first introduced in the late 1950s. It was designed to function both as a large sofa and an occasional single bed for guests. It features characteristic steam bent arms and was made from solid elm and beech in the Ercol factory in Buckinghamshire, UK.

I take my inspiration from the the things I find in charity shops, junk shops (I think you call them Thrift shops in USA) so it really doesn't have to be expensive to create a beautiful home and re-cycling helps save the planet ! If you can't find exactly what you're looking for you could always commission a local artist or designer maker to work their magic and you'll have a truly unique, bespoke, talking piece for your home and keep artists in a job!!

It is indeed, I found two fused glass panels in a junk shop and worked these into my design, the light from the sunroom behind brings colour into the kitchen and beyond the sunroom you will see another panel which I used in my greenhouse outside.
