Throwback Thursday – May 2025

The Danske chair, designed by Danish architect Arne Wahl Iversen, debuted in IKEA’s 1961 catalogue (page 127). Crafted from Polish oak, it exemplified IKEA’s shift from the era’s popular teak to more affordable materials. This blend of Danish design and cost-effective production made the Danske chair a standout success in IKEA’s 1960s lineup.
