The pair of Kon-Tiki chairs, designed by Gillis Lundgren for IKEA in the 1980s, embodies the distinct ethos of Scandinavian modernism. Crafted from solid pine in a warm, honey tone, the frames reveal natural wood grain and knots, accentuated by a semi-matte varnish that enhances the organic surface. The construction is defined by simple, geometric lines and angled legs joined by horizontal supports, offering both stability and functional clarity. Light beige, subtly textured upholstery covers both the seat and the taut backrest, providing a soft contrast to the wood’s warmth. The upholstery is removable, fitted over a flat, cushioned seat and a fabric-covered back. Visible screws and hardware highlight the project's honest, utilitarian spirit. The chairs are in good vintage condition: minor scratches and scuffs on the wood are consistent with age, and one backrest shows a small area of wear, but all original components and an authentic patina remain intact.These chairs reflect the spirit of Scandinavian functionality from the 1980s: simplicity of form meets the authenticity of materials. The pine, warm and organic, seems to evoke the tranquility of northern landscapes, while geometric lines encourage a measured restraint from excess ornamentation. Each mark on the wood and the fabric’s texture is a quiet record of the decades gone by—an affirmation that design can be both practical and intimately woven into daily life. The chairs “speak” in a tone of rationality, inviting conversation or rest without unnecessary ceremony.The Kon-Tiki chairs can be integrated into bright, minimalist interiors with a palette of wood and white, or into more eclectic arrangements where geometric rugs or muted textiles are present. They would work well around a solid wood table, set against matte walls or beside a low sideboard with similar texture
