Why the "webbing" version is so rare:
In the period 1978-1982, IKEA offered the POEM with various "seating options."
The best-selling version was the cheaper canvas mat with a loose cushion.
The "luxury" variant (this chair) had a load-bearing structure made of woven textile straps.
In the 1978 and 1979 catalogs, this variant is often pictured under the "technical specifications" or as an option for people who wanted a lighter, Scandinavian look without thick cushions.
Are you a fan of vintage IKEA design? This is not the standard Poang chair you see in showrooms today. This is the rare IKEA Kruba, a more luxurious version of the iconic design by Noboru Nakamura from the 70s/80s.
Instead of the familiar loose cushions, this chair features a beautiful black woven seat. This gives the chair an airy, almost Japanese Zen look that fits perfectly in a minimalist or Scandinavian interior. The curved wooden frame offers the famous springy support for which Nakamura is known.
