It spins again!
Some things are too great to stay forgotten. When the DYVLINGE swivel armchair reached IKEA customers as MILA in 1967, it was a huge success. The low, soft and reclined armchair was then nicknamed the anti-stress armchair. Now reinforced with an extra leg for stability, it’s ready for another spin. Are you?

While some landed on the moon in 1969, others landed in this spacious, soft, slightly reclined armchair designed by Gillis Lundgren. The dimensions of the SOTENÄS armchair are as generous now as they were back then, giving you plenty of room for different sitting positions. Or for sharing it with a friend.

Pepper with patterns
Although colourless, the STRECKFLY fabric in salt and pepper has plenty of flavour. This fun monochromatic pattern by Sven Fristedt was first brought into the IKEA range as MYRTEN in 1968. This year, dress up your sofa with easily matched cushion covers or drape your walls in the 3-metre pre-cut fabric.
