IKEA Borkum Armchair, Black Velvet, Johan Bertil Häggström, 1970s

A rare IKEA classic from the 1970s, designed by Johan Bertil Häggström. The Borkum armchair combines comfort with bold design: a tubular chrome frame with deep black velvet cushions that invite you to sink in. A clever detail is the built-in side pocket for magazines or books – both practical and stylish.

This piece reflects IKEA’s experimental era, when the company worked with ambitious designers and high-quality materials. Today, Borkum is a sought-after collector’s item and a strong statement piece for any interior.
