The key feature of the design is the loosely suspended linen seat and backrest, which naturally moulds to the shape of the body, ensuring a comfortable experience. It features a solid beechwood frame and a linen seat.

the solid wood frame, in warm tones, also provides a visually sturdy backdrop for the lightweight fabric. This model can be linked to the work of christer blomquist and the scandinavian ‘field chair / safari chair’ range, which was reinterpreted by several scandinavian designers in 1972. This armchair was manufactured by ikea between 1970 and 1972 and is therefore a rare collector’s item, of which only a small number were produced\.
