IKEA Scandinavian Modern Style "POEM" Cantilevered Armchair, Late 20th Century

Item Details

Designed by Japanese designer Noboru Nakamura in 1976, this cantilevered armchair is an iconic staple of IKEA’s Scandinavian Modern catalog. Originally launched as the ‘POEM’ chair, it was envisioned as an ‘armchair for life,’ utilizing the strength and flexibility of layer-glued wood to create a springy, comfortable seating experience without the need for traditional rear legs. This example features a natural wood frame and a neutral cream-colored cushioned seat with a distinct headrest. While showing significant surface wear and staining to the fabric consistent with long-term domestic use, the chair remains a classic representation of 20th-century functionalist design.
