Throwback Thursday – April 2025

The Eker chair, designed by Gillis Lundgren and introduced in IKEA’s 1965 catalogue (page 69), is a notable example of mid-century Swedish design. Crafted from painted beech wood, it features a curved spindle backrest and a wide, low seat, embodying the simplicity and functionality characteristic of Scandinavian aesthetics. Today, the Eker chair is a sought-after vintage piece, reflecting Lundgren’s significant contribution to IKEA’s design legacy.
