Designed by Karin Mobring for IKEA in the 1976, the Natura armchair stands as a quiet milestone in the history of democratic design. With its exposed solid pine frame and natural leather sling seat, the chair bridges rustic modernism with a sculptural, almost elemental simplicity.
Mobring — IKEA’s first in-house designer — championed furniture that was functional, honest, and emotionally grounded. Their timeless design and practical comfort make them a standout example of Scandinavian furniture heritage.
The patinated pine and aged leather carry time with grace, making this pair as warm as they are distinctive. Well-used yet full of character, they remain comfortable and structurally sound.
