20th century, set of 4 "Kotka" dining chairs by Tomas Jelinek for IKEA, 1980s

This magnificent set of four Kotka dining chairs, designed by Tomas Jelinek for IKEA in the 1980s, illustrates a period when IKEA emphasised natural materials, thoughtful construction, and refined Scandinavian design. Each chair features a reinforced wooden structure for stability and visual presence, with stretched leather cushions on the seat and backrest providing warmth, comfort, and a natural vintage patina. Well-proportioned and functional, these chairs are ideal for a dining room, kitchen, or as elegant accent seating in a modern, minimalist home. These charming chairs complement many interior styles such as modern, Scandinavian, classic, or art deco. A warm colour and patina harmonise well with the minimalist Scandinavian lifestyle characterised by a minimal and clean approach that combines functionality and beauty, focused on simple lines and bright spaces.
