More information

Designed in 1958.

In the 1958 Ikea catalogue, "Focus" is presented with the following text:
"Exclusive, certainly, but why shouldn't one be from time to time, especially if it doesn't cost extra. In an artist's loft, at a modern art exhibition, indeed, why not in your own living room. Your friends will congratulate you, and you will enjoy it. It is Architect Bengt Ruda who has sat at the drawing table for this one, and he has done so with pride. Durable and smooth oxhide signifies longevity and harmonises well with the graceful lines of the nickel-plated steel tube frame."
