The chair you sink into at the end of the day and don't get up from until someone reminds you it's bedtime. That cantilever frame gives it a gentle spring — you sit down and it gives back, just enough to feel like a reward.
Here's what makes this one special. Noboru Nakamura designed IKEA's Poäng — the bestselling chair in their history. In 1999, exactly 60 years after Alvar Aalto unveiled his Armchair 406, IKEA asked Nakamura to create a limited edition tribute. This is it. The woven strapping, the bentwood birch frame, the high back — all a nod to Aalto's original Finnish design. It was produced for a short run and never made again.
Deep forest green woven strapping on blonde bentwood birch. The colour combination is gorgeous — think British Racing Green meets Scandinavian simplicity. Comes with a matching green leather headrest cushion that supports your neck exactly where you need it.
You can buy a standard Poäng today for £100. You can't buy this. The 1999 Points edition sells on 1stDibs and Pamono for four figures. Same designer, same DNA — but this is the version he made when he went back to the source.
In very good vintage condition throughout.
