IKEA Skye, 1984

Say hello to the IKEA "Skye" Chaise Lounge, designed by the legendary Tord Björklund in the 1980s. Before IKEA became the king of flat-pack particle board, they were churning out avant-garde, high-design masterpieces that rivaled the top Italian design houses of the era. The Skye lounge is the ultimate proof of that golden age. This beauty is all about effortless, sculptural slouch. It features a sweeping, ergonomically curved silhouette engineered perfectly to follow the contours of the body. It doesn't just look like art; it feels like floating. It features the highly coveted, rich cognac/caramel toned leather upholstery. It has aged beautifully, developing that buttery, authentic vintage patina that you simply cannot buy new. A minimalist, industrial-chic tubular steel frame in a matte grey finish that keeps the profile light, airy, and incredibly sturdy.
