An Icon of British Mid 20th Century design. Designed by Lucian Ercolani, the Ercol 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 is made from solid elm and beech. I was delighted when I sourced this beauty a couple of months ago. It’s original fabric was tired and dated, so I decided to give it a revamp. I chose an olive green and warm mustard fabric, and I hope you agree the re-design looks fantastic. retrorumage@gmail.com

A vintage makeover I am passionate about good design, and my goal with Retroumage is to offer my loyal followers unique pieces at competitive prices. I now have a range of vintage furniture items that have been fitted with contemporary, and sleek hairpin legs. The legs are metal with a coated finish, and come in a number of colours, and sizes. This gorgeous 1960’s Scandinavian style chest of drawers now looks cracking with it’s new set of hairpin legs. It’s a piece that would grace any modern space, and wouldn’t look out of place in the pages of a high end glossy magazine. Keep an eye on the blog for some more pieces from this range. Also if you have an item of furniture which is suitable for a re-styling, why not consider a set of these cool legs. Dimensions: 89w x 38d x 76h cm approx. For viewing details contact Paul retorumage@gmail.com
