Modifications of the Poeng chair from Ikea, assembly instructions

Series overview

Poeng is a series from Ikea, specially created for your comfort and creating coziness in your home. Few brands that produce popular and inexpensive products can boast of a similar range of furniture. Ikea has a lot of Poeng armchairs. Japanese designer Noboru Nakamura worked on the creation of this furniture series.

According to the designer himself, Poeng chairs are not just furniture, they are things that can serve for many years without losing their relevance. They are made of bent-laminated wood, but this is not the only advantage of the Poeng series. As you know, Ikea strives to create completely environmentally friendly furniture, and armchairs are no exception.

All furniture in this category can be divided into several categories:

rocking chairs;
ordinary chairs;
child seats;
foot stools.

In addition to the existing range, foot cushions can be purchased. All Poeng elements are made in a classic, sophisticated style. No rough lines or bulky details, only lightness, grace and pleasant colors.

Available colors of chairs: black, brown, dark blue, beige, black-brown, beige with a floral pattern. Child seats can be purchased in pink.

Ikea Poeng armchairs are ideal for a bedroom or living room; they can be placed on an open terrace or comfortably located on a balcony or loggia.

Types of chairs

The chair has undergone changes over time. It is now available in a variety of colors and finishes. But its design is constantly being improved. Some models were not to my liking, while others remained in their original condition:

Poeng chair. This is a classic option. Exactly the one the designers worked on.
Poeng rocking chair. The legs of this model are elongated and curved upward, forming a loop. The rounding angle of the legs is no more than 35 degrees from the equilibrium position, so there is no danger of the chair tipping over. Despite the already reclined position, the angle between the seat and backrest is still 90 degrees.
Poeng footstool. At first glance, a useless thing. But it is a great addition to a classic armchair. When designing the stool, the physiological characteristics of the human body were also taken into account. The stool has an uneven surface and is tilted. The height of one edge is slightly lower than the seat height of a classic chair and is 39 cm, and the height of the other is 36 cm. This slope makes it possible to relax your legs after a hard day at work.
Poeng chair for children. Realizing what a miracle designers had invented for adults, manufacturers immediately thought about children. Knowing how important correct posture is for children, parents who had already experienced the comfort of the Poeng chair, without hesitation, bought chairs for their children. This is a classic version in miniature.

Previously, two more models of chairs were produced: an office chair and a lounge chair. But currently there is no information about their production.

Reviews of Poeng chairs from Ikea

Marianne:

“The Ikea Poeng baby seat just won my daughter’s heart! Now any reading of books is a holiday for us. Because the child really likes to sit in it. The big advantage of this chair is that it has a cushion cover that can be washed. And both I and the child especially like the design of the chair in the shape of the letter U, it is softly springy. It’s easy to assemble even by yourself. Among the additional advantages: a very restrained color scheme, it is difficult to choose just one. For the sake of the child, we bought a pink chair, but for myself I would like a beige or dark blue one.”

Nikolay:

“I bought two dark brown armchairs from this series for my summer house. My wife and I always dreamed of a rocking chair, and we settled on Poeng for several reasons: they look very modern, surprisingly light, easy to carry and transport, and you can talk about colors in general for a very long time. Now, six months after the purchase, I conclude that the purchase is worth it! I can recommend it to everyone!”

Ikea armchair "Poeng"

It is quite difficult to find a chair that would suit all family members without exception: one has an uncomfortable back, another has high armrests, a third has a seat that is too soft. The Ikea Poeng chair usually pleases all household members: it is incredibly comfortable, lightweight, has a rocking function and a headrest. There are a large number of different colors to choose from.

Design Features

At first glance, the poeng seems fragile and unstable due to the lack of hind legs, however, this impression is deceptive. The special shape of the backrest perfectly follows the contours of the human body, thanks to which the effect of maximum relaxation is achieved. The main feature is the absence of rear load-bearing legs; stability is ensured by a special curved frame design. A durable frame made of veneer (most often birch) can easily support a weight of up to one hundred and seventy kilograms.

Tests of the chair have shown that it can withstand over hundreds of thousands of uses.

The technology for creating a frame from bent veneer is quite labor-intensive. Birch laminated veneer is used most often; it is this wood that can best be bent without losing strength. First, the workpieces are treated with steam, after which they are given the desired shape. The blanks are fixed in this position and treated with special chemical compounds to achieve better elasticity.

Appearance

This furniture is a lightweight, durable and stable structure that can be assembled with four bolts in 10 minutes and can withstand 170 kg of weight. The simple appearance allows the product to fit into any interior - from Scandinavian minimalism to modernism. The rich color range of removable seats is designed to suit the design of the room in both warm and cool colors. The buyer can choose the material: textiles or eco-leather.

The chair owes the shape of its frame to the Japanese Nakamura, who believed that movements should not be constrained, so he gave the base an anatomical shape - the back was tilted, and the person’s pelvis dropped below the level of the knees.

Deciduous trees are chosen as the material for the base (as the most flexible and light): beech, ash, birch, oak. The frame is multilayer (composite), adhesive type, which provides additional elasticity. Additionally, it is treated with stain to give the desired color.

The covers are available in 15 options: plain, printed, eco-leather. For the 40th anniversary of the chair, an exclusive genuine leather cover was released. It is very convenient that all covers are removable, and most textile models can be machine washed at 40 degrees.

Light colors can even be used in a family with small children and animals.

Ikea Poeng chairs have several frame options: classic, rocking chair, lounge chair:

The classic version can be supplemented with a foot stool, which creates an ideal anatomical line for reclining rest. The classic frame springs under the weight of the owner, but at the same time provides easy lifting. There are two stoppers at the front that limit the movement of the base, preventing it from turning over when the user gets up.

The rocking chair is made from the most flexible multi-layer birch. The frame has looped legs (an irregular oval) characteristic of this type of furniture, to which the armrests are attached. There are no front stoppers. This is a great option for middle-aged and elderly people. Thanks to the anatomical curve, the spine with a weak muscular corset does not “sag”, and there is no discomfort during prolonged sitting. The removable pillow allows you to lean your neck back on it, but at the same time (without throwing your head back) - continue to look forward.

Another feature of this model is the folding backrest for easy transportation when assembled. To do this, two bolts in the rear are unscrewed - and the frame can be folded almost in half and placed in a standard car trunk.

The lounge chair has larger dimensions than other models, greater depth and back angle. The base is the same bent-laminated birch veneer of increased strength. The chair is intended for reclining rest.
The new product ( the Poeng swivel chair ) has the same anatomical basis, only a frame made of steel and birch veneer is used as legs. Foot stool sold separately. It has removable covers that completely match the chair covers, making the ensemble seamless. This is an excellent option for reclining, if the space does not allow installing a one-piece lounge chair.

You can choose the color of the frame and the shade of the upholstery yourself - right in the store or on the company’s website. The frame is packaged in a compact box made of recycled cardboard, weighing 2 kg with packaging. The seat is packed in a high-strength polyethylene bag. You can even deliver furniture home by public transport.

The chair can be assembled independently, following the instructions. It is designed in the form of pictograms and pictures and is easy to use. If you have any difficulties during assembly, you can always call the store operator - and he will help solve your problem.

A nice bonus is that the instructions can be downloaded from the Poeng model page.

Iconic models

The Swedish company offers a huge range of chair models to suit every taste, and the number of products is constantly being replenished. Among all this diversity, models stand out that are already considered iconic. They organically combine quality, convenience, and affordable prices.

Poeng is one of the first models released by IKEA. It has a classic shape, and the peculiarity is that the furniture is a little springy. Soft upholstery and adjustable armrests provide additional comfort. You can buy such a chair for 5–8 thousand rubles. But there are more expensive options with leather upholstery.
Strandmon is a classic model. It is distinguished by its convenience, overall dimensions and a variety of colors. Belongs to the middle price segment - costs 13-15 thousand.
Ektorp is a chair on four legs with semicircular armrests. It is made in a minimalist style, but despite this, it is very comfortable to sit in it. This model can be purchased for 15 thousand rubles.
Melby - a special feature of the chair is its filling made of elastic polyurethane foam, which has a memory effect. The cost of the model depends on the upholstery material and starts from 7 thousand rubles.
Landskrona is an excellent option for a living room in an aristocratic style. The model is trimmed with soft embossed leather, so its cost starts from 35 thousand rubles.
Nolmira is a chair characterized by increased comfort. The backrest is located at a special angle in relation to the seat, ensuring the correct position of the spine. This model costs from 3000 rubles.

Reviews

Users say that these chairs are “timeless.” The frames are so strong that they last for decades, do not creak or dry out. Many people use the chair instead of computer chairs and note that sitting for many hours in front of a monitor is no longer torture. It is especially convenient to watch movies on a laptop or draw on a tablet.

Everyone unanimously notes the light weight of the chair and the ease of cleaning underneath it. Dust is wiped off easily, the chair can be moved with one hand. Containers with children's toys can easily be placed under it.

Modifications

Poeng chairs are so popular not only because of their excellent quality. They are presented in several variations, which allows everyone to make the best choice. Product modifications:

A classic version of the chair, which can be complemented with a foot stool. This design creates a single anatomical line, which makes it especially comfortable. The frame is springy, and two front stoppers prevent the chair from turning over when lifting.
Poeng rocking chair, the design of which differs from the classic model. More flexible birch veneer is used for production. A distinctive feature of the product is the curved legs in the form of an irregular oval. There are no front stoppers so as not to restrict movement, but there are comfortable armrests. This modification of the Poeng chair is valued for back problems and is liked by older people. Thanks to the design of the backrest, the load on the spine is reduced, and the muscle corset does not experience pain. When transporting, the model folds, which is very convenient - the assembled chair can fit in the trunk of a car. A nice bonus is a removable pillow on which you can comfortably rest your head.
Lounge chair. In order to comfortably take a nap for a couple of hours, you don’t have to have a raised bed: this modification was created specifically for this. Its dimensions and depth are larger than those of other models, and the back is also tilted at a different angle. The basis of the frame is birch veneer of increased strength.
Swivel chair. This is the highlight of the Poeng model range. In terms of anatomical characteristics, it is no different from other varieties. Only the legs are different: here they are made of frame and veneer. The product can be equipped with a footstool. This option is perfect if there is not enough space for a lounge chair. The covers of the rotating model are removable, which emphasizes practicality.
The Poeng child seat is a smaller copy of the classic model. It will not take up much space - the furniture is compact in size. Thanks to the variety of upholstery colors, the chair is easy to choose for the interior of a child's room.

Children often love to read books while lying in bed or on the sofa, but this spoils their eyesight and posture. And such a chair will be an excellent solution for kids.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main feature of this chair is its unusual shape. A smooth bend forms a reliable base that is formed without the use of nails. The maximum loads that the structure can withstand reach 170 kg. The durable frame is complemented by removable upholstery made from a variety of textiles with high performance properties.

The body of the chair is slightly springy, which allows the body to fully relax after a hard day at work. Thanks to the unique design, the back and neck are in the correct position. Among the advantages of this model, ikea notes:

A harmonious combination with any interior style.
Reliability and durability of the design; the manufacturer provides up to 10 years of warranty on its own products.
Environmentally safe, the frame consists of natural birch veneer.
Ergonomic body, anatomical back, providing comfortable work and rest.
Simple, quick assembly without the use of fasteners.
Wide variety of colors and textures.
The presence of additional elements, many models of chairs are sold together with footstools or stools made in an identical design.
Easy to care for, just remove the covers periodically for washing.
Affordable price (4–16 thousand rubles).

The chair has practically no disadvantages. The only negative is a certain psychological discomfort that people with large builds experience. It seems to them that the elegant design is not able to withstand heavy weight. Over time, as the muscles of the back and neck relax, this sensation goes away.

Additional footstools help relieve tension. Such elements are indispensable for young mothers, office workers, and the elderly.

Design Features

When designing the famous Poeng chair, the Japanese Naboru Nakamura thought, first of all, that the chair should not be a piece of furniture in which a person simply sits. He wanted to create a chair that would be a source of emotional uplift. So that a person, swaying in it, forgets about stress and tension. This is where the designer saw the meaning of movement and its value. Naboru Nakamura experimentally discovered that a U-shaped chair can rock slightly if its frame is made of molded multi-layer veneer. He also wanted the swing to be graceful. This is how the idea of a rocking chair was born.

The frame is made of multi-layer bent-laminated wood, which makes it possible to slightly absorb movement. This is what causes the swaying sensation. The technology for creating the frame is reliable and, as a result, a very durable and wear-resistant base of the chair.

Despite its sophisticated appearance, the chair can withstand weight up to 170 kg.

The seat and backrest are made taking into account the anatomical structure of the spine: the concave part of the thoracic region and the convex part in the lumbar and neck areas. These conditions subtly force the body to sit correctly. The 90 degree angle distributes the load evenly. These little tricks make relaxing in this chair comfortable.

Product options

The popularity of Poeng chairs from Ikea is due not only to high quality, but also to the variety of assortment. Today there are several models:

Classic option. The design has an anatomical shape, curved legs, and a removable cover. The frame is able to spring, a pair of front stoppers prevents the chair from turning over during lifting. A low footstool would be a great addition.
Rocking chair. The main difference from the classic model is the curved legs in the form of an irregular oval. There are no stoppers, but there are comfortable armrests. This modification is especially useful for older people. The design reduces the load on the spine and muscular system. The product is convenient for transportation and is complemented by a removable pillow under the head.
Bed. This modification is equipped with rear legs that allow you to take a reclining position. The seat of this model is the softest and thickest, the design is stable.
Swivel chair. The properties of the product are no different from the classic version, the main feature is the legs. The supports are made from veneer and a frame; many models are complemented with benches. The swivel round seat is perfect for the office.

There is a model in the line of chairs that children will definitely like. The design is the same as the classic version, but has compact dimensions. A variety of cheerful colors allows you to choose the right model for any child.

The design is slightly springy, which gives an even greater relaxing effect after a busy day. The backrest and seat are designed to support the correct position of the neck and back. In fact, such furniture is a kind of your personal home orthopedist.
