IKEA - Carl Öjerstam - Bench - Bergön - Rattan

An iconic and highly sought-after design classic from IKEA from the end of the last century: the legendary IKEA 'Peanut' (pinda) bench. This rare model was released in 1999 in a very limited edition and at that time never appeared in the standard year catalogs. This has made it a beloved and extremely scarce collector's item among Mid-Century Modern and vintage IKEA design enthusiasts.

The bench owes its name to the organic, three-dimensionally undulating shape of a peeled peanut. The furniture was fully hand-woven from natural rattan in Indonesia (Cirebon region) by order of IKEA, which guaranteed the absolute top class of rattan wickerwork. The seating rests on the characteristic slim base of four metal hairpin legs. The legs are firmly attached to the wooden support beam of the frame via the original clamping system.

Condition:
The bench is in good, sturdy vintage condition. The rattan weave is beautifully intact all around and has no large cracks or holes in the seating surface. Naturally it has light, age-appropriate signs of use (such as a slight patina/discoloration of the natural material and minimal superficial marks on the metal base), which give the furniture its unique vintage character. The original production sticker on the bottom is missing (as is often the case with this model), but the construction and materials are 100% original.
