IKEA Reissues Amazing Classic Furniture Designs From The 1950s, 1960s





Furniture giant IKEA has launched a collection this year called ‘ÅRGÅNG’, which is made up of more than 20 pieces of reissued classic furniture designs from their past inventory.



These pieces of furniture were once sold from the late 1950s to the 1960s—from the luxurious MK chairs to the leaf-shaped Lövet table—and would not look out of place in modern homes of today.



Gizmodo took the liberty of pairing some of these reissued furniture with IKEA’s archival catalogs as seen on their official IKEA Communications’ Pinterest account and press materials.
