Vintage Ikea Armchair 'Diana' by Karin Mobring

The square diana armchair is one of designer karin mobring’s most prominent classics. It is a safari chair – a ready-to-assemble, lightweight armchair that was originally used by the british army in the field. The model was popularised in the 1930s by danish designer kaare klint, who named it the “safari chair”. Diana lasted the longest with 11 years in the ikea catalogue. The diana chair is made out of a pinewood frame and sand-coloured canvas.
