Bring timeless Scandinavian design into your home with this rare and highly sought-after ‘Pulkka’ lounge chair with Ottoman, designed by Ilmari Lappalainen for Asko in the early 1970s. A hallmark of Finnish functionalism and modernist aesthetics, the Pulkka chair is celebrated for its sleek profile, comfort-oriented design, and sophisticated material combination.
The chair features its original white leather upholstery, which has aged gracefully over the decades. The leather exhibits signs of use consistent with its age, including visible wear and natural discoloration that lend authenticity and vintage character. Importantly, the chair retains its original matching neck pillow, a rare addition often lost over time, which enhances both comfort and collectability. Ottoman is in great condition as well.
The ergonomic and removable seat is supported by a gently curved, polished aluminum frame that allows for a subtle recline. The low-slung design, combined with the softness of the leather and pillow, offers an inviting and relaxed seating experience. Designed to balance aesthetics and utility, this chair fits effortlessly in minimalist, mid-century, or eclectic interiors.
