Rare set of 6 “Maxmo” postmodern dining chairs by Ikea, 1980s

A rare set of six “Maxmo” dining chairs produced by IKEA in the 1980s, representing a bold and playful chapter in postmodern design. These chairs embody a distinctive graphic language, where curved tubular lines and perforated metal seats come together in a sculptural yet functional form. The design is both minimal and expressive—defined by its continuous looping armrest and backrest, creating a fluid silhouette that feels almost drawn in space. The perforated seats add a rhythmic visual detail while enhancing lightness and usability. Pieces from this period reflect IKEA’s experimental direction during the 1980s, where accessibility met progressive design thinking. Today, such models are increasingly appreciated for their character and collectibility within postmodern interiors. A striking and cohesive set that works equally well in residential and more curated, architectural spaces. Condition. Very good condition, with minimal signs of wear consistent with age. Details.
