1990s IKEA “Space Age” Chair by Monika Mulder

A striking and sculptural 1990s IKEA chair designed by Monika Mulder, showcasing a bold “space age” aesthetic with clean, futuristic lines.

 

This distinctive piece features a ribbed black seat and backrest paired with a contrasting white metal frame, creating a dynamic silhouette that feels both industrial and playful. The low, lounge-style proportions and curved structure give it a unique presence, making it ideal as an accent chair or statement piece.

 

A great example of late 20th-century Scandinavian design, blending practicality with experimental form.
