ABOUT PRODUCTID 31825
The pair of 'Skopa' lounge chairs is a design by Ole Gjerløv-Knudsen and Torben Lind, created for Ikea in Sweden in the 1970s. Each chair is made from molded plastic in a saturated, glossy orange finish, showcasing a distinctly sculptural, monolithic silhouette. The deep, round seat and wide backrest flow seamlessly into the base, forming a cohesive and fluid profile. Newly made, round beige cushions, upholstered in soft fabric, have been added for enhanced comfort—providing a striking contrast with the vivid chair shell and emphasizing its geometric lines. There are no visible fittings or decorative elements, underscoring the minimalist, Scandinavian essence of the design. The plastic surfaces show minor scratches and scuffs typical for their age. The chairs are preserved in good vintage condition, with authentic patina and no significant damage or repairs. The listed price applies to the set—sold exclusively as a pair.
The 'Skopa' chairs seem to recount the story of the 1970s, an era marked by a fascination with bold forms and vibrant colors. Their intense orange hue evokes the optimistic spirit of the decade—dynamic, energetic, and eager to embrace new materials and technologies. The smooth, lustrous surface and assertive profile suggest a forward-looking vision, while the rounded lines and absence of superfluous detail reveal the influence of Scandinavian minimalism. These chairs speak the language of functional sculpture—inviting relaxation while asserting their presence within the room.
