The Poul Kjærholm PK22 is an icon of Danish furniture design — timeless, minimal, and elegant.
Its slender steel frame and natural leather sling create a refined balance of comfort and craftsmanship.
But even masterpieces age. Over time, the leather can sag, crack, or lose its luster.
Instead of replacing your entire chair, you can replace the leather cover — giving your PK22 new life while preserving its authenticity.
At DeszineTalks, we specialize in custom-made leather covers, designed specifically for the PK22 chair.
Why Replace the PK22 Leather Cover?
Refreshing your PK22’s leather sling offers:
· Comfort Restoration: regain correct seat tension and flexibility.
· Aesthetic Upgrade: restore that clean Scandinavian look.
· Sustainability: replace the cover, not the whole chair.
· Value Retention: protect your design investment.
Common signs your chair needs new leather:
· Visible cracks or wrinkles
· Leather feels dry or rough
· Sagging or uneven seat tension
· Color fading or stains
Step-by-Step: Replace the PK22 Leather Cover
Step 1: Remove the Old Leather
1. Lay the chair on a soft surface.
2. Carefully unscrew the fittings holding the leather.
3. Slide the sling off and clean the frame with a mild metal polish.
Tip: Label screws and bolts for easy reassembly.
Step 2: Choose the Right Replacement
Our PK22 replacement covers at DeszineTalks are customizable leather, allowing you to choose the type, finish, and color.
Features:
· Customizable leather (color, finish, and type)
· Hand-stitched edges for refined finish
· Precision fit maintaining authentic tension
Step 3: Install the New Leather Cover
1. Attach the new seat sling first, tightening gradually.
2. Fit the backrest and adjust for even tension.
3. Test the chair — it should feel firm yet flexible.
Note: Leather will naturally soften and stretch slightly with use, ensuring ergonomic comfort.
Step 4: Maintain Your PK22 Chair
To keep your chair pristine:
· Condition with a neutral leather balm every 4–6 months

· Clean gently with a damp microfiber cloth
