Francis and the team used bamboo slats – thin layers of bamboo glued together in different dimensions. Thanks to the long fiber, bamboo is more flexible and easier to bend than most wood. “We explored different techniques to bend the bamboo and let the shapes become a part of the expression.” One challenge was to achieve just the right angle where the seat and backrest meet – with enough tilt and flexibility so that you can enjoy long meals at the dining table. “Bamboo behaves differently than wood, that was something we had to learn – and understand how to utilize. And, since the material is so hard, we could make the edge of the table really thin.”

Solid chair that is fairly easy to put togetherAlbertThese are solid chairs for casual dining situations. They were fairly easy to put together however there was one hole that on both chairs that didn't line up without some manipulation. Now that I know what to do they're really easy to assemble. I'm a fairly big guy and they hold me up pretty well.
Bamboo & rush chairJoanneLight weight, yet sturdy! These chairs (we purchased 6)were put together quickly with no problem. They have a summery appearance in neutral, which is nice; but I plan to stain them to go with our table.
Perfect dining chairsKieranI’ve had these chairs for a couple years and they have held up beautifully, even with two rambunctious cats. I’m here to purchase more for the dining table and thought I would stop to leave a review because I’m such a fan!
I love this chair IngridThis chair exceeded my expectations. If I were to tweak one thing, it would be to lower the front seat edge. Other than that it works well and is really pretty.
Voxlov ChairAngelaI've looked at this chair twice in the store and finally purchased one to see how I liked it with my dining table. The directions were very easy to follow. I did have one small problem. The very last step before tightening everything was to secure the seat to the back of the chair with a bolt and two fasteners. Unfortunately, the bolt was not long enough to catch the fasteners and make the connection. I did visit a local hardware store and found what I needed. It was a little long but I cut them down.
I need to purchase 3 more and will be interested to see if I will need to duplicate the above process.
A beautiful chair and I really love it.

Bathroom ChairMartynModern design, lightweight, comfortable & moisture resistant; perfect chair for a ladies makeup station.
Love these chairsRuthieBought these chairs for my kitchen. I have had them almost two years. They are still as comfy and sturdy as day one. No breaks in the cane. I have 3 little kids so that’s saying something. Perfect size! It’s nice and wide and supportive but has a little give from the cane so it’s not too firm. And they are lovely. Can’t say enough good things about them!
Great BriannaAmazing Chair; will possible be getting another one
We love itRitzaWe love ikea furniture
Quality built chairAhsanBought 4 of these chairs to go with the same named table. Took 10 minutes to build each with no help. The set looks awesome and very durable. And it didn't break my bank. Wish that Ikea had a 55-59 inch bench to go with it also. I found one outside of IKEA to complete the set but it was hard to find something with such a neutral color as the table and bench.
super comfortableAnonymous reviewernice looking too

Story
Swaying bamboo becomes timeless furniture
Did you know that bamboo is actually a grass? After growing for some years, it becomes as hard as wood and at the same time stronger and more flexible than most types of wood. It’s also fast-growing and renewable. So, we headed out on a creative excursion to investigate the unique qualities of bamboo and to find out how to make the most out of it rather than copying wood. VOXLÖV dining table and chair is the first result.
Designer Francis Cayouette joined our bamboo trip from the start and made some new discoveries. “When we use bamboo wisely, according to its natural qualities, we can design shapes that are difficult to achieve with other materials.”
Bending shapes with flexible bamboo
A chair to linger in
Francis wanted the chair to feel strong and at the same time light and ”transparent”. “We tried with natural fiber on the seat and the backrest, but it made the chair look like a piece of outdoor furniture. Instead, we wove paper cords by hand to get a built-in elasticity. It’s strong and has been used for years in furniture making.” The result is a chair just as flexible and soft as swaying bamboo – a comfortable place where good moments last longer.
Material
What is bamboo?
Strong, flexible and one of the world's fastest growing plants – bamboo has many uses that make it an excellent renewable material. It’s a type of grass and usually grows without the need for fertilizers or irrigation. After being harvested, it grows new shoots that are ready for harvesting after 4-6 years. At IKEA, we use bamboo for items like furniture, bathroom decor, baskets and lamps – and we are constantly exploring more areas of use for this versatile material.
