About the Item

Beautiful shaped Espri safari chair designed in the 1970s for IKEA, Sweden. This is a rare and characterful example of the brand’s early design explorations. This distinctive lounge chair features a gracefully sculpted bamboo frame paired with suspended saddle leather in a rich cognac tone, creating a natural and tactile contrast. The Espri’s construction follows traditional safari chair principles, lightweight and highly functional, yet adds an organic flair through its bent bamboo structure and wrapped joints. The slung leather seat and backrest mold gently to the body, offering casual comfort while highlighting the material's natural patina. A charming and sculptural piece with bohemian appeal, this chair is ideal for eclectic or mid-century inspired interiors. Increasingly hard to find, especially in original condition, it stands as a playful yet thoughtfully designed icon of democratic 1970s Swedish design. Please contact us for an affordable and non-profit global shipping quote. We also provide express and white gloves delivery service. We will get in touch with you within 24 hours. Estimated shipping costs: Europe: € 50 - € 150 Outside Europe: € 150 - € 300

Cognac leather Esprit safari lounge Chairs by IKEA Sweden 1970s. Ikea designed this safari Lounge chair in the 1970s. It is made of bamboo and cognac saddle leather. The design and the look and feel of this occasional 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...
