Poäng

Poäng is a line of armchairs produced by the Swedish retailer IKEA. Introduced in the 1970s, the Poäng chair is known for its curved, laminated wood frame, which provides a lightweight and flexible seating feel and a gentle reclining motion. The frame is typically formed from bent beech or birch and defines the chair’s distinctive silhouette. A cushioned seat is mounted on elastic supports, while a separate back cushion offers additional comfort. The upholstery covers are available in a wide range of fabrics and colors, and removable covers allow for easy cleaning and updates.

Design and production: Poäng embodies IKEA’s emphasis on comfort, modularity, and affordability. The chair has remained in production for decades and has been offered with various fabric and cushion options. An associated ottoman is often available to complement the chair, and cushions can be replaced or swapped to refresh the look.

Impact and reception: The Poäng has become one of IKEA’s most recognizable and widely sold chairs, frequently cited as an example of affordable, ergonomic seating. Its simple, timeless design has contributed to its long-lasting popularity in homes, offices, and public spaces around the world.

Maintenance: Upholstery covers are typically removable and machine-washable according to care instructions; cushions and frames are designed for routine care and replacement parts are available through IKEA.
