In Nytillverkad, we get to celebrate some of our favourite designs from the past and update them for a new generation. But some classics never left the stores. Designed by Noboru Nakamura over 40 years ago, the POÄNG armchair and the KLIPPAN sofa proved to be truly timeless. With a low back and in bold suits, they look sharper than ever!
Classics in constant change
Meet the KLIPPAN sofa in fun outfits straight out of the IKEA catalogue from 1984 and discover a brand new low-back design of the POÄNG armchair. Designed and updated by Japanese designer Noboru Nakamura, these additions to the Nytillverkad collection will transport you to the confident ‘80s with their popping colours, straight lines and minimalistic expression.
Less snoozing. More socialising.
No more dozing off mid-conversation. The new POÄNG low-back armchair lost its headrest to become more social. A place for chatting, debating and collaborating. Match or mix it up with frames and cushions in red, birch/beige and black.
A sofa for the many
The KLIPPAN covers in bright red, blue and yellow are easy to carry and can give your KLIPPAN sofa a new, fresh look. The covers come in matching textile bags. Bring home a new sofa under your arm or give it away the next time you go to a housewarming.
”The Japanese flag only has a circle. It’s so simple. I like to approach my design in a similar way.”

Meet the designer
Japanese designer Noboru Nakamura (1938–2023) worked for IKEA for three years in the late ’70s. During this time, he designed many products, but two would live on even after he was gone: the popular POEM/POÄNG armchair and the KLIPPAN sofa. Learn more in this interview from 2022.
Explore earlier pieces from the collection
Whether you want it all or just need a piece, the Nytillverkad collection allows both bold dives and shy tries. Turn heads with a sculptural armchair in steel. Or elevate your hallway with a fun hat and coat stand.
Cool and comfortable
The large, soft cushions of the ÖNNESTAD armchair make it as stylish and comfy as ever. And the wide seat of the high-end living room stool HOLMSJÖ allows you to sit comfortably for longer.
Old souls in new suits
At the end of the 1960s, when the MILA armchair was first introduced, life was supposed to be relaxed and cosy with reclined armchairs and spacious coffee tables. Back again as DYVLINGE, the swivel armchair now has an extra leg for stability, and the BAGGBODA side table comes in fresh new colours.
