Poeing chair - a unique model for stylish design and universal use

Today, a comfortable armchair is not only a characteristic attribute of a living room or hall. It is also impossible to imagine a modern study without comfortable furniture. Not so long ago, IKEA launched a Poing chair - a kind of mix of laconic office style and a cozy design of home interiors. Consequently, this universal element will harmoniously fit into any type of decor and will become a stylish decoration both in the office and in the room for a family vacation.

Origin

According to one version, Noboru Nakamura (Japanese designer) invented a unique chair design 40 years ago, being in a philosophical mood and considering options for ideal furniture for relaxation. The second version of the origin of the Poing chair is from the founder of IKEA, Ignward Kamprad, who, despite his income, was the most economical person among all the modern rich. He always preferred the most budget hotels and moved to Volvo. An interesting fact from the life of Kamprad is that he had a favorite chair that accompanied him everywhere. It is precisely this model that formed the basis of the design of the Poing chair, now popular all over the world.

There is no absolute confirmation of this or that version, therefore both legends have a place to be. One way or another, this unique piece of furniture has no analogues today.

Armchair Poing IKEA: elegant form and manufacturing technology

Undoubtedly, the feature of this model of chair was its refined shape - a solid base with a smooth bend without a single clove! This stunning design, although it seems fragile, can withstand up to 170 kg of weight. The frame is complemented by removable upholstery from different types of fabrics (fairly durable and pleasant to the touch) and movable armrests that are adjustable in two positions.

The legs resemble the Latin letter U, which is why the whole design looks like a rocking chair. However, this is a slightly different technology, but by the way, in the line of poing there is also the first option.

The main part of the chair is not designed for swaying, but for the body to relax as much as possible, taking an optimal comfortable position. The design is slightly springy, which gives an even greater relaxing effect after a busy day. The back and seat are designed to maintain proper neck and back position. In fact, such furniture is a kind of your personal home orthopedist.

A poing chair is made of birch veneer, since it is this material that is the most flexible, easier to bend. The process is quite laborious: first, the workpiece is processed hot with steam, bends are formed, after which it is firmly fixed and impregnated with a special composition in order to maintain elasticity.
