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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eBrand: IKEA\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eDesigner: Eva Lilja Löwenhielm\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Europe, Swedish design\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eModel: Kristian \/ Pallar\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Scandinavian Modern, Minimalist, Industrial\u003cbr\u003ePeriod: Early 2000s\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: Beech veneer \/ plywood, lacquered tubular steel\u003cbr\u003eColor: beech, light grey\u003cbr\u003eDimensions (approx.): H 77 cm; Base W 43 × D 50; seat height 45 cm; backrest 14 x 38,5 cms \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eGood vintage condition with visible signs of age and use.
