IKEA – Serri – Chair – Krumelur – Karin Mobring – 1986

IKEA Serri chair from 1986

This IKEA Serri chair brings a distinctive vintage accent to a living room or reading corner. Serri first appeared in the IKEA catalogue in 1986. The model followed the earlier Krumelur chair, a design associated with Karin Mobring.

Its relaxed proportions make it an interesting alternative to a conventional lounge chair. In addition, its vintage character pairs easily with furniture from different periods. You can use it as an individual seat or place it beside a sofa to complete a seating area.

Design and interior styling

The IKEA Serri chair offers a clear connection to the brand’s earlier lounge furniture. The previous Krumelur model dates to 1972. This Serri listing refers to the later model introduced in 1986, so the two dates describe different points in the design history.

For example, place the chair beside a small table and a reading lamp. Keep the surrounding furniture simple to let its outline stand out. Alternatively, combine it with other vintage IKEA pieces for a room with a consistent design character.

With a width of 62 cm, the chair can work in a smaller seating arrangement. However, its 85 cm depth needs sufficient floor space. Before ordering, measure the intended position and leave room to move around the chair. The low seat height is also worth comparing with your preferred seating position.
