Ratings and reviews

Love this chair!ThereseI love this chair, it looks so light and airy, it’s actually quite comfortable- especially with a chair seat pad and throw blanket. Great to see these past design reissues! 5
Mod and Comfy Classic Great Indoors or OutSarahWe have four of these Ikea classics on our deck and they hold up to the elements all summer and fall. The best part of these chairs is, unlike so much patio furniture, they are incredibly comfy for all ages and sizes. So easy to assemble that no instructions or a second set of hands were necessary.5
Retro feel RhondaThis chair is super stylish with a funky throw pillow tossed on. It works in any space and adds a cold retro vibe. Surprisingly pretty comfortable too. Love this chair. Buy it!!5
So cuteReginaPerfect pop of color + really comfy, even if is all metal 5
Orange You Glad!KaryneOrange you glad you bought this chair is how you will feel! I love it. Surprisingly it is very comfortable. I sit on a cushion on it but without cushion it is comfortable. Even though low to the ground it is easy to get in and out of. It was easy to put together. It is durable. A good price point. Adds a pop of colour to my living space! 5
Looks great, not too comfyHienThis is a revived classic that will look great in years if you're into this style. The orange colour looks great - very vibrant and on trend without being jarring. The chair can be used both indoors and outdoors. It's not the most comfortable chair to sit on of course, and pillows/cushions will be needed. 4

This chair was exactly what I was looking for! Very easy assembly & sturdy, this chair is stylish. I added a faux fur throw & a soft throw pillow to soften up the overall look :)

Designer thoughts

Designer thoughts

In the early 1980s, our founder Ingvar Kamprad asked the Danish industrial designer Niels Gammelgaard to create the world's most inexpensive armchair that could be manufactured industrially, without filling or fabric. Niels had already designed another chair in metal with holes, so Ingvar suggested making the holes bigger to remove a third of the material. It worked. JÄRPEN armchair was born – a timeless classic given the name SKÅLBODA in the Nytillverkad collection.
