Mid Century Armchair by Parker Knoll Model PK 988
 
This stunning mid-century Parker Knoll armchair, Model PK988, exemplifies the craftsmanship and enduring appeal that define one of Britain’s most iconic furniture makers. Beautifully proportioned and effortlessly elegant, the chair has been professionally refinished and reupholstered by our artisan team, restoring it to its full original splendour while giving it a rich, contemporary warmth.
The solid wood frame has been carefully stripped, restored, and refinished in a dark walnut tone — a testament to Parker Knoll’s renowned quality and construction. The seat and back have been reupholstered in our exclusive heritage fabric, a luxurious chenille with a floral design in deep red and gold, offering a tactile softness and timeless aesthetic that perfectly complements the mid-century frame.
Originally designed to combine comfort, style, and durability, the PK988 model showcases Parker Knoll’s signature craftsmanship — from the gentle curve of the arms to the precision of the joinery. This restoration honours those original design values while updating the chair for modern living.
Perfect as a statement piece in a sitting room, reading corner, or design-led interior, this Parker Knoll armchair brings together history, artistry, and sophistication. Its vibrant upholstery adds a touch of vintage glamour, while the clean, sculptural form keeps the look balanced and refined.
A true classic of British mid-century design, this restored Parker Knoll PK988 armchair embodies the enduring quality and attention to detail that make Parker Knoll furniture so cherished today — an ideal addition for collectors and design enthusiasts alike.
