Couldn't load pickup availability
This early-2000s IKEA Kristian chair was designed by Eva Lilja Löwenhielm and combines a formed beech plywood seat and backrest with a lacquered tubular-steel frame. The model is documented in IKEA’s 2001–2003 catalogues as a stackable chair by Löwenhielm.
The warm grain of the wood contrasts quietly with the cool grey frame, giving the chair a light, airy presence.
The gently curved plywood seat has a pronounced rolled front edge, while the separate veneered backrest sits within the continuous tubular frame. Its construction is simple and functional, with exposed layered plywood visible along the edges and small black spacers beneath the seat. The restrained combination of bent wood and steel is characteristic of IKEA’s turn-of-the-century Scandinavian design language. The Kristian was conceived as a stackable chair, making its minimal form practical as well as visually distinctive.
