Duke

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.

Duke is a chair design by the Swedish designer Alexander Lervik, dated 2026. The work is produced by Johanson Design, which manufactures and distributes it, while the design originates in Lervik’s studio. In the portfolio it is listed under chairs.
