Living proof of the timeless rocking-chair design
POÄNG armchair from IKEA is turning 40. The iconic armchair represents an era of 40 years of style, comfort and eyes for details.
The most classic Swedish design does not necessarily come from Sweden. IKEA first introduced the iconic POÄNG armchair in 1976 and this icon of Scandinavian design was actually the creation of Japanese designer Noboru Nakamura.
The bentwood frame curved backrest gives the armchair a comfortable resilience and it follows the contours of your body for total relaxation. The high back gives good support for your neck and back. We take tests seriously to ensure its stability, and to make sure that the cushions can withstand everyday use in the home environment. Now choose a set of chair frames and seat covers that you love to enjoy the memorable moments with POÄNG!
"A chair shouldn't be a tool that binds and holds the sitter. It should rather be a tool that provides us with an emotional richness and creates an image where we let off stress."
Noboru Nakamura, Designer of POÄNG
