Impala Sofa by Gillis Lundgren for IKEA, Sweden, 1970sProduct Description
Rare “Impala” sofa designed by Gillis Lundgren for IKEA during the 1970s. This iconic Scandinavian lounge design features a distinctive tubular chrome-plated steel frame combined with generously padded tufted upholstery, creating a striking balance between Space Age aesthetics and Scandinavian modernism.
The low-profile silhouette and integrated curved chrome structure give the piece a futuristic architectural character typical of experimental 1970s IKEA design. Designed for both comfort and visual impact, the Impala sofa embodies the relaxed lounge culture of the era while maintaining the clean functional lines associated with Swedish design.
Gillis Lundgren was one of IKEA’s most influential early designers and played a major role in shaping the company’s modern identity during the mid-20th century. The Impala stands today as one of the most recognizable and collectible vintage IKEA seating designs from the 1970s.
Its sculptural proportions and elegant chrome detailing make it a standout statement piece for both contemporary and vintage interiors.
