POÄNG series

Staying popular is hard. The IKEA rocking chair from our POÄNG series has retained its appeal for over forty years and counting. It’s one great armchair: bentwood makes it strong and flexible, its design is made for comfort, and its soft bounce will turn you into a fan the moment you sit down.

“

With POÄNG armchair I wanted to combine the Scandinavian and Japanese furniture traditions. It also felt important to make the most of the qualities of layer-glued wood. That’s why the frame is a little springy, which makes the armchair even more comfortable. When I first created the armchair in 1972 it was called POEM, and I hoped the design would feel timeless. I think we succeeded with that. Now, the armchair feels like a real classic.

Timeless design meets comfort and quality

With its classic design that never goes out of style and the option to change cushions and covers whenever you feel like it, the POÄNG armchair is something you can love for a long time. Its springy and stylish bentwood frame and supportive high back make it very comfortable to sit on, too.
