Delve into a fascinating journey through time with IKEA's iconic designs. A global brand known for its affordable and trendy furniture, IKEA has a rich heritage of designs that have evolved over the decades.
The MAMMUT Chair: A Current Favorite
One piece that has gained popularity in recent years is the MAMMUT chair. A common sight in children's rooms across the globe, its unique design and durable build have contributed to its fame.
The PUZZLE Chair: An Icon of the Past
Taking a step back to the 1980s and 1990s, the PUZZLE chair was the talk of the town. Created with a whimsical and vibrant design, it became a beloved piece among IKEA's line of children's furniture.
The Masterminds Behind the PUZZLE Chair
The creative brains behind the PUZZLE chair were none other than Knut and Marianne Hagberg. As early trailblazers of IKEA's distinctive style, the Hagberg siblings have contributed almost 100 designs to the IKEA catalog. The PUZZLE chair was part of the PUZZLE set introduced by IKEA in 1987.
Remembering the PUZZLE Chair
Notably, the PUZZLE chair is no longer available for purchase at IKEA since its discontinuation in 1996. Its rarity has increased its value, and vintage PUZZLE chairs are now sought after on second-hand websites, often fetching attractive prices.
The Allure of Vintage IKEA Designs
The fascination with vintage IKEA pieces extends beyond the PUZZLE chair. Other classics like the ÅKE chair and AMIRAL series have also found favor among vintage design enthusiasts.
