Duke

Duke is the evolution of a modern classic. Its predecessor Dandy always had a strong form, but certain details made the model unnecessarily complicated — exposed corners that drove production costs and made future reupholstery difficult.

By simplifying the construction, the chair becomes more rational to manufacture and more sustainable in a longer perspective. The expression turns cleaner, calmer and more timeless, while the chair can more easily be given new life with new upholstery.

The update makes the model more relevant today without losing its character. The refined Dandy is launched as Duke.
