An armchair with a soft, comfortable form combined with a light chrome frame—exactly the kind of 1970s aesthetic that’s very much back in style today. It has a relaxed, cozy feel while still looking light and modern.

This piece was designed by Gillis Lundgren for IKEA—one of the brand’s most influential designers. Lundgren was responsible for many projects focused on comfort, functionality, and accessibility—and that’s exactly what you can feel here.

The armchair features new upholstery and filling, so it not only looks great but is also genuinely very comfortable. The seat is soft and provides good back support—perfect for reading, watching series, or simply relaxing after a long day. A nice extra detail is the side pockets, ideal for storing a remote, phone, or book so everything is within easy reach.

It works beautifully in a living room, bedroom, or a cozy relaxation corner. It fits perfectly into vintage interiors, but can just as easily add warmth and character to a more modern space. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
