What lounge chair is this?

September 9, 2020 5:53 PM

I stayed in an AirBnB long ago and sat in an amazing chair. Luckily, I took pictures of this chair because it was so amazing (you do that, don't you?) But I didn't actually find out what its name was or where to buy it. Can you help me ID it?

Here's the images of the chair:

Best answer: Yep, it's a Poang. I've hardly been in a Brooklyn apartment without one.

Here's a history of the POÄNG chair if you're curious.

What luck when your dream chair is $80 at any Ikea in the world, and practically free secondhand! I was so excited to see that your comfort will be so attainable. It's a pandemic, we all need these little victories!

practically free secondhand

Yes! lalunamel, I discovered years ago that you can almost always find like-new Poangs on craigslist, cheaper than from the store and you don't have to assemble them.
