Ilmari Lappalainen Pulkka Prototype Chair for Asko

Ilmari Lappalainen Pulkka Prototype Chair for Asko

This Pulkka chair is a rare prototype by Ilmari Lappalainen for Asko. It has the familiar low and relaxed shape of the Pulkka line, with a bent metal frame and padded leather upholstery. This example comes in white leather and has a clean, minimal look that fits well with the strong shape of the chair.

Unlike the standard adjustable versions, this prototype does not have a reclining mechanism. That makes it a more unusual version of the model. The chair still has the same comfortable low seating position and distinctive profile that made the design well known.

The Asko label is still present underneath.
