About the Item

Cognac leather safari lounge chairs Karin Mobring, Sweden 1970s. Karin Mobring designed this Ikea Classic Vintage Lounge chair in 1972. It is made of solid Scandinavian pine wood. This version is rare, black lacquered by the producer IKEA. The design and the look and feel of this rare chair reminded me of what someone once taught me about good sculptures, "they look great from all angles". And what is particularly important about a chair is that it is very comfortable to sit in as well. People have very different thoughts about IKEA furniture, and they are all right. Simply, because people have different ideas about designs, quality, durability etc., the reality is that IKEA has never been more prominent or more popular (worldwide), and some of the earlier designs will be the antiques of the future. This rare, stylish and comfortable midcentury modern chair from the early days of Swedish Ikea design is one of those future antiques that will become increasingly collectable. This particular chair is as solid and stable as the day it was made, and for its age, it is still in good condition with a nice used patina, and it will look great in many a midcentury design interior. 4 Available, price per chair
