Set of 4 Safari Lounge Chairs by Karin Mobring for IKEA – Sweden, 1970s
About the Item
Designed by Karin Mobring for IKEA in the 1970s, this rare set of four safari-style lounge chairs showcases the elegant balance of Scandinavian functionality and modernist aesthetics. Mobring, one of IKEA’s most notable designers, brought timeless character to utilitarian furniture, and these chairs are a perfect example of that vision.
The chairs feature solid black-lacquered wood frames with patinated cognac leather sling seats and backs, exuding a warm, natural presence. The leather shows visible signs of age and wear, adding rich character and authenticity to the set.
Please note: due to the condition of the leather, reupholstery or restoration is recommended for those seeking renewed functionality or a more polished appearance, while the original materials offer an appealing aged patina for vintage purists.
With their low, wide proportions and open construction, these chairs are comfortable, lightweight, and easy to move, making them ideal for both casual and refined interiors. Their safari-style silhouette blends effortlessly into bohemian, mid-century, and contemporary spaces alike.
A rare collector’s set from IKEA’s early design-forward era, these chairs embody the enduring appeal of 1970s Swedish design.
